CushtyJook 1,097 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bored of the rain here while I'm stopping at my cousins place up country managed to go out for a walk and cut this little ash fork dryerd it out by the fire when rain stopped and have been sanding it down for a short while now, what do you reckon I should stick of it flat or tubes and how do you think I should Finnish it, I have some Danish oil and some magogony varnish, planning to make another one from a fork cut at Appleby fair if I can find a good one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's lovely looking, enjoyable way to spent a rainy afternoon, nice one Do you think it's a bit small, I have some spare flat elastic but never seems to last very long, might stick this on it, my own pocket poacher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie bravo 572 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Nice! Small is good. Easy in the pocket. Flats for me, dead easy to do on natty forks. Go for folded single bands for a bit of extra strength Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonnie bravo 572 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sorry pal, I mean if you fold the bands width ways and attach them to the forks, so you can use a nice wide band that will last a bit longer and give you a bit of extra power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
