New Chubber Float In Metallic Pearlescent Blue.
I have been meaning to up date my chubber floats for quite some time now. My first pattern was a more traditional looking float made from natural sourced materials and hand carved. My new effort is made from balsa, birch and is hand turned on my lathe. ( A tool I am still very much a beginner on ). Finished in metallic pearlescent blue, a white shoulder and a fluorescent red/ pink tip. The whippings on this particular float are gold, black, blue and violet.
