Fishing reel
Made out mahogany, ebony and brass. The interworkings are from a zebco 404.
Spent a couple of weeks figuring all out during the pandemic days. Made all the brass parts as well. Just something I wanted to try.

Oh my gosh - what a project to attempt and complete to such perfection. KUDOS ten times over
Too good looking to get lake or stream muddy water on it. Really outstanding workmanship!

I don't fish, but admire the level of workmanship that this shows. Great outcome!
Very cool! Nicely done.

My first thought.

Now you need to make a bamboo rod to go with it. Of course you have to try it out. BTW - that's awesome!!!
Stunning.
It looks fantastic! Luxury fishing, I bet the fish will be impressed when you catch them, they might want to eat some caviar with you. lol It's great to hear form you buddy.
