Fluted Slate Grey Avons - 4.8g

Image
 Morning all, I have just completed a pair of  Fluted Slate Grey Avons comimg in at 4.8g which are lighter than I wanted but as they say....its all a learning curve!!! 😊 I do enjoy making these even if they do take more time and effort. There is just something about the way they look that keeps you coming back for more. Made with balsa bodies, alloy stems The paints used were slate grey with white & fluorescent pink tips plus black and gold thread. Hopefully, this pair will be trundelling down the Trent next year after barbel & chub.  These floats will be paired with an Harrison 14foot SU float road and a Youngs, Bob James Centerpin. I have just started carving another pair. I think I will try a goose quill as tip material for this pair. Until the next time………. TTFN Peanut.
