Inlays and art for a Custom Landing Net

I really liked the cravings and brass scroll-work on the flintlock rifles of past.  I was asked to design a net as a gift to a grandfather, celebrating his grandchildren and designed an inlay of a trout which included the birth stones of his grandchildren set into a net handle.  

Time past and I saw a board with an unusual area of color and grain.  I was inspired to transform that area into the stylized suggestion of a trout.  Such designs add $100-200 to the price of a net.

Simpler ideas such as the addition of measurement marks, can enhance the handle with less stress on the budget. (about $10 each)
