Nice work that man.

Stunning work that man! I love those old Farlow's gye nets, traditional and practical. When I'm feeling flush I'm going to buy one, they come up on ebay quite regularly...

Thanks for sharing your work, well done! :Hat: :cheers:

That is very very nice Evert. A very traditional net but you have really made that into something very special indeed. I haven't seen a Gye net like that before; great handle design too.
