Handcrafted Nets

Starting with American hardwoods each of  these  landing nets is handcrafted to its individual shape, contoured, detailed and sanded. They are coated with a deep epoxy finish to create a lustrous glow. These fly fishing landing  nets may be customized to your personal taste, creating a collectible piece of outdoor art.  I personally create each of these nets using a variety of hand and power tools.  My finishing techniques were developed over several years of frustration and false starts, it is still the single most time consuming part of building these landing nets.  Each landing net will have a minimum of 6 coats of epoxy to develop the finish with a deep glow and protection.  The brass fittings are machined and polished by hand in my own workshop.

If you have any questions please contact me and we can discuss the possibilities for your net.
