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.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
that would be the perfect gift for a woodworker that loves to fish ?

My first thought.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

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.

That is a wild project!
I get a bit curious on the thought process that went before. Was this perhaps a challenge to make the least possible thing out of wood?

Just something I decided I wanted too try. I like making things that are different. Keeps my mind busy.
Thanks everyone @
