    Default Custom Birch Bark Spacer

    Howzit,

    I thought I'd share a few pictures of the spacer I made up this weekend.. For some reason the birch wasn't as easy to work with as I thought. I thought it would turn down a lot faster. Anyway, with a bit of care I finally finished it. I think I'll use it on a nice little 2wt as it is very light..

    Here are the pices being assembled after the cutting thereof:

    I like this allot. Nice one Ryan.
    Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish."
