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 emerald green with the tips painted red over yellow silk thread. Next, they are dressed and lined using white/black jasper (vintage Gudebrod), white, 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.

For bespoke orders:

Tip and sub tip colours are yours to choose:

Tip colour options – Yellow, Red, Orange, Purple, Pink, Blue or Green

Sub tip colour options – White, Yellow, Red, Orange, Purple, Pink, Blue or Green

Note that bespoke orders may be a little different in size.
