Hello, Made this net for my Grandson Jack after admiring some here on LJ'S for quite some time. The thought process probably took longer than the build itself. So the handle is made from Leopard wood ( his favorite ), the hoop is made from strips of Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Purpleheart & the Leopard Wood handle with some Spalted Birch. The Walnut came from his Great Grandfathers collection that I inherited. The Maple came from a project his dad & I worked on, so some special components in this project. The net is from Jan's nets if I remember correctly. The finish is a marine polyurethane that I was not happy with & will not use again. (took days to dry) applied several coats with sanding in between. Thanks for lookin. Says he is going to teach me fly fishing, LOL never tried it. Jack
