After making plenty of floats for myself and a few friends i thought i would try something a bit different and make a few floats for display only.
I dont intend to fish with these but they will sit on my desk or bookcase, i went for the more traditional style floats to start with as they always look good, next step is to try a few pole floats using similar materials.
I've always like the way natural wood looks and i think it suits these floats.
