The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Looking through Paul Cook's lovely book, 'Lost in a quiet world' I came across a little drawing of a lost float, hanging in a tree. 'That would look nice on a float tube' I thought . I contacted Mr cook and he kindly allowed me to copy it, thank you Sir. If you haven't read the book, I recommend it to you.

Good fun,this leather work...I can't go fishing at the moment, so it passes the time nicely.

That's absolutely lovely Paul, a fine piece of art.

Fantastic piece of art and craft you are a very skilled man your leather work is very good my father used to make cartridge bags as a side line in leather your stitching is very good indeed mike also your drawings very good too

Where does your talent end Paul?
I didn't know you was an artist!

Lovely looking float tube

Wow, that's a little beauty Paul, well done indeed.

Wal.

That's fabulous - in fact it's so nice I think I'd worry about taking it to the bankside!

Seriously Paul - you have quite a talent there.

Cheers
Steve

Very nice work Paul, very nice indeed.

Thank you for your comments gentlemen

Having lost a fair few floats in my time that image from Paul's book has rather become my motif. I've even got a poor version of it as a 'suncatcher' on the toilet window.......
