After a recent trip to central PA where I was left running downstream with a fish worth netting more than once, I decided it was finally time to get a nice net. Without hesitation I texted my buddy Chris Pongrac, the mastermind behind Out of the Riffle Woodworks. I told him I wanted somthing for trout, smallies and maybe the occasional carp. I also wanted some tiger maple with a dark contrasting wood, similar to the neck of a Les Paul. After he sent me a few pictures of wood samples, we settled on Tiger Maple and Figured Walnut.
One of my favorite parts of the whole process was Chris's updates via text (or email). Throughout the whole build he kept me up to date with the build status by sending pictures. Here's as shot of all the pieces after getting steamed and shaped.
