Re: Float Tubes
Really nice. I do like a float tube; especially those made by folk who then use them. Congratulations they look fantastic and home made as well. I have a few and they are a bit battered having been thrown around for many a year now ... all a part of the character.

Re: Float Tubes
Very nice Fred. I love the subtle patterning on the cane. Is it a dye.

Thanks for the kind words. The patterning on the cane is the natural marks of the cane.Wallys-Cast wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:10 am Very nice Fred. I love the subtle patterning on the cane. Is it a dye.

Re: Float Tubes
Thanks Fred, I have seen similar patterning on one or two vintage cane items and always thought it was some kind of applied treatment.Fred wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 1:06 pmThanks for the kind words.
