Below are examples of custom fishing nets I have built in the past. Scroll through the images to get an idea of what you want your next custom net to be like.
079 - Medium HF. Sister net to #080, both with wonderful colors in the spalted curly maple. Custom commission, but I had several people reach out as this one was in progress wanting to claim it.
080 - Small HF. Sister net to #079. Intricate Spalting with some curly figure. Stabilized handle for strength.
078 - Medium HF. Amazing color in the Buckeye Burl handle. The blues really pop. Reminds me of The Starry Night. Tricky to get matching curves near the throat of the handle, but I'm proud of how this turned out. Complete with a matching magnet holder.
SOLD: #072 - Burl Oregon Black Walnut. Medium HFM, 12.5 inch handle.
