Medium sized Fly Fishing Net in American Lacewood and Mahogany

This is a very functional net of American sycamore and mahogany.  Sycamore is sometimes called American Lacewood, because of the highly figured grain when quarter-sawed.   After a sycamore tree came down in our neighborhood I organized a saw mill party and was able to select the boards with the best figure.  The cream colored sycamore contrasts with the deep red mahogany left over from the furniture trade.  In the early 1900's, a time when Grand Rapids was famous for the furniture industry and small amounts of a deep rich red mahogany would show up at estate sales, when I first moved here 45 years ago.  I try to give that wood a second life.

The Eastern hoop measures 12 x 10.5 inches with a slightly shorter 7.5 inch handle a good net when climbing through the brush. The overall length is about 21.5 inches. 

The net features a medallion I had made many years ago.  Honor the Fish, our sport at its best is about connecting with the natural world, this philosophy has been my guide and goal over the last 30 plus years as built my nets. 

The net pictured below is the net you will receive, it is finished and ready to ship.

This landing net maybe be custom ordered with a slightly larger hoop and a ghost net bag. My nets are all signed and numbered.  All nets have a custom shop made brass eye for attaching the net to your vest or belt.

When ordering a custom net there is a $100 refundable deposit, with up to a 12 month wait time. I will email you for confirmation of details.
