This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe.
Its an old style
" Pike Bobber Float "
for live and dead baiting.

Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem.
Jay feather inlay with two satelliting jungle cock feathers.

As I said its a steep learning curve for me:
1) Using a lathe.
1) Using a lathe.
2) Working with cork.
Both had their challenges but a feel I have come out of the other side with a pretty good effort.
With a little more practise I feel I can get this pattern looking a much better.
This is how it looks now.
What do you think ? 😊
Any constructive criticism is always welcome.
Until the next time . . .
