The nets that I build are made from all reclaimed wood. I utilize local hardwood that I salvage in log form, mill into lumber, air dry for several years. I utilize unique character of the grain for handle inserts and mix a variety of woods that contrast eachother.
The "River" series of nets are completely unique- each stripe is a free hand cut on the bandsaw and glued back together. No two will ever be alike. I use up to ten coats of a fine semi gloss hand rubbed oil and the highest quality net material to complete each net. Each net is numbered and comes with a tag identifying the woods and date.
Nets are offered in 4 sizes, the "Headwaters," "Colorado Special" , "Spring Creek," and the "Pennsylvania Drifter" long handled boat model. I do not offer custom work at this time and availability is by batch- I often make 6-8 at a time and will list them on the "Available Nets" pages.
Spring Creek 8"x16"

Pennsylvania Drifter 14-1/2" x 22" x 54" long

"The River" handle detail


Headwaters 5"x 11"
