I've been smiling all afternoon ...

Post by AshbyCut »

... and who wouldn't when a set of 6 beautiful double quill, delicate crucian slider floats drop through one's letter box (2 x 7 3/4in. - 2 x 6 1/2in. - 2 x 5 3/4in.) ???

The result of a collaboration between two Fine Gentlemen (both members of the TFF) they will be both treasured and, more importantly, used.

Tincture time !!!!!

Delighted for you Mal I am pleased to say I am the very proud owner of similar floats by the same builder.
If Carlsberg made floats these would probably be the best Crucian floats ever made
