Absolutely stunning, they have got to be the finest Walker type nets ever made. :Hat:

Wonderful pieces of art! The new owners must be over Mars and beyond, Sir!
How labor intense - I can clearly understand your final sentence. :Scared:

Almost too lovely to thrust into some dirty old pond, Wm+

That wood looks stunning and its history is fascinating...I can imagine it laughing at a bit of plain old freshwater......

I'm amazed, frankly, that the wood could ever look that good again. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I can't think of an adjective other than stunning. There must be a market out there of TFF'ers - between Northern Nomad and WM+ - original and slightly modified - I think I need to save some "pennies"; thanks for posting the finished photos.
