Description

These floats are made from a balsa body, carbon and Sarkanda reed antenna and painted sight bob with a cane eyed stem. I have stained the bottom half of the bodies rosewood and painted the top silver green.   Next, they are dressed and lined using orange/black jasper (vintage Gudebrod), peach, yellow and black silk thread. Finally, they all have a minimum of 10 coats of lacquer.

Their lengths are 23.3 & 30 cm long

With all handmade floats the cocking weight might very a little, these take 4.2 & 2.7g+, a weight that makes the float sit up well.

My floats are signed or initialled and dated. If you order a bespoke set, then at time of ordering I can add the buyer’s name to the floats.

I would recommend the use of a soft float rubber band, to help protect your float.
