I made this for a friend of mine, using Yew for the body, cane for the bristle and stem and Mahogany for the weight.
Its a copy of the loaded Drennan Puddlechucker, here it is next to the original.
The colours, patterns and natural markings of the Yew can be seen clearly in this picture, nature creating markings and patterns that just cant be replicated.
The finished float on its base, I was very happy with the way this turned out and I'm sure my friend will be equally as happy when he recieves it. I made the base from the same Yew log but decided this time as its a more modern float to loose the bark.
I'm really enjoying using Yew for floats, I have a few more bits of Yew that are as equally marked as this one is, a set of puddlechuckers might be nice, I'll have to think about that.
