RR Nets - Custom Wood Fishing Net Duo for Father/Brother Gift

Beautiful nets!
Beautiful pictures too.

Never apologise for too many photos. I enjoyed them all.
Amazing looking wood on the nets. Well done.

WOW!!!! I have a strange urge to catch some fish. Nice nets

Thanks for showing us these, and I agree never too many pics.

That Fiddleback versus Curly is usually just a measure of the amount of and distribution of the curlies across the board. Everyone sees the boards where one edge of a 12’ long piece has some curl, and then we just need to look at the pic you show as laying out the 2 nets, and you can see you are covered completely, and the amount of curl is very close, and tight. As with most things in woodworking the exact difference is decided by the person doing the looking, and for a Fiddle maker Fiddle back is realllly tight, where any board with even one curl, could be called curly.

In the pics showing the throat, and handle, that is some fiddle back.

I am astounded by how beautiful these nets are! I have a BIL that would kill for something like that (and I never know what to get him for Christmas)... Thank you for sharing so many wonderful pictures!

I agree with all of this. It almost seems that “fiddleback” is in the eye of the beholder. I just wish there were a clear definition of “curls per inch,” or something like that to define fiddleback. I guess that’s the beauty/challenge of working with figured wood. You would be amazed to see the myrtlewood slab up close. The curl is hard to count in some areas. There is no point in the board where it stops! Thanks for the explanation!

Indeed beautiful finish and very good looking wood too.

Thanks, Mike! In the past, these nets have been commissioned as Christmas gifts of clients. I usually deliver the nets well before Christmas, and the client typically can’t/won’t wait to give it away!

Pure craftsmanship. And, you can never have enough photos.

You did a great job on the nets.

Many years ago I made some very similar. What I found is that they will last for ever because the recipients thought they were to nice to use so they just displayed them on the wall and used their old aluminum framed nets. LOL

-- Les B, Oregon

Yep… Agree with what everyone has said. A brown trout would look really nice in there.

Those are absolutely gorgeous. I can’t imagine actually putting something so beautiful in river/pond/lake water.
