heres some lures and flies i made,the lures are carved from ash and are hand painted with no less than 8 layers of varnish! the flies i carved a while ago.this selection in the frame won me 2 firsts in the local shows.
heres some deer antler buttons i made,the pic doesnt realy do them justice,i make these to order,these were well recieved by my mate from GWBT (where she posted a better pic) _________________ [/img]
We used to have a friend who tied his own flies and it was fascinating to watch. Do you make anything else from the antlers? The buttons look lovely. Is it a very difficult material to work with? _________________ http://codlinsandcream.blogspot.com/
leonie, please can you delete this whole thead? lloyd will be home any minute now. Amongst everything else going on, he keeps whittering about taking up fly fishing again......

its the same as bone to work with,a bit smelly when it gets hot on a sanding wheel! but it polishes up like glass! but for best results the mammoth ivory is tops,but very hard! i hope to post pics of my scrimshaw but my 35mm type photography is very blury for fine/close up detail. _________________ [/img]
