New Waggler Float Tube Whipped & Feathered

For some time now I have wanted to make something to protect my 
" Slim Waggler "

The obvious choice for me was a float tube,
so,
with my initial float tube success still fresh in my mind from my first model
I was fairly confident I would be able to produce another half decent tube.

The new tube below is again made from a single block of pine with brass hinges, violet & gold whippings
plus a feather for a little added colour.

Tube dimensions are :

Length 285mm
Internal Diameter 20mm
Outside Diameter 35mm

The tube has a 20mm hole which fits around seven of my new wagglers,
plus,
it can double up as a 
pike float tube as it fits a single
25 - 30 g pike slider perfectly.
😁
The best thing for me is that I have something a little prettier than an industrial plastic tube to transport my new creations in whilst fishing.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Morning all, Still stocking up on "Inserted Sticks" for silver fishing on the rivers. These three are constructed of balsa, carbon and wooden tips for slow running, deeper rivers. Paints used are slate grey, white and fluorescent orange with grey, pale blue, black and blush gold threads. The average weight capacity if the floats is approximately 10-12 no 4s or 2g.
