Back home in the shop and on the river. Yes, there was one that got away. But what a story.
The beauty of wood enhanced by a custom deep epoxy finish is a major decorative element of my landing nets. The contrast of colors between a dark cherry or walnut with a lighter wood such as sycamore or maple create contrast to please the eye. The combinations are endless. I use over 30 mainly domestic hardwood species in constructing these nets, and I am always trying to add more.
Below are sample strips of some of the woods currently available. The actual appearance will be slightly different as each piece of wood will have its own unique color and grain patterns. These samples are provided for inspiration.
