I admire the people that can make floats with perfect whippings on them, and traditional style floats look just right with a whipped finish, so with that in mind I set out to create that look.
The main body is Spalted Beech tipped with Walnut at either end to represent the whipping, finished off with a Goose quill.
I think I went just a bit to far and the 'whipped' parts should be a little bit smaller, perhaps next time.
I do have an idea that i'll try on a future float to finish this whipping idea off.
Body length is 65mm total float length is 18cm.
Now that is very nice work Scott, but I still have to say the beech Avon does it for me. Merry Xmas mate, I'm working over the festive period so enjoy your time off.
