Glow In The Dark Porcupine Quills.

Hello there...

Some more lock down floats.
Here we have some more
" Glow In The Dark Porcupine Quills".
These are fiddly to make but the finished float is worth the effort.
Finished with black and burgundy whippings these floats will be partnered with a can rod for some still water action, hopefully , when the lock down has finished.
Not long until lock down is over.....lets hope  anyway...
😁

Lathe Made Pike Bobber - First Effort. . . .😊

Image
This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe. Its an old style " Pike Bobber Float " for live and dead baiting. It is a steep learning curve but, at last, I feel I have something to show all of you. 😊 Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem. Jay feather inlay with two  satelliting jungle cock feathers. Fluorescent pink paint and a brass eye. This is how it looked fresh off the lathe . . . . As I said its a steep learning curve for me: 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 . . .   TTFN . . . . Peanut. If you would like to look at all of the hand crafted floats I make p...
