Wooden Fishing Net Build for a Great Cause

A custom fly fishing net for a great cause. This one-of-a-kind net is made from the highest quality figured maple and purple heart wood and all the proceeds go to helping the conservation efforts of the James River Basin Partnership, a non-profit organization that has been doing amazing work to improved the water quality throughout nearly 1,000,000 acres of land in the beautiful Ozark country of Missouri.

This net will be auctioned off to help support those efforts at their annual gala on September 18, 2021, and I am beyond happy to have been able to be a part of the efforts!

If you're interested in helping to support a great cause for watershed conservation, visit their website's DONATE page here:

Be sure to check out the projects they are working on as well!

Also a huge shout out to the Founder of Grizzly Industrial, Inc, Shiraz Balolia for generously contributing a gorgeous piece of figured maple for the project when the original pieces just didn't want to behave! When I described the issues I was having to Shiraz, plus the great work of the James River Partnership (which happens to be part of the Springfield, Missouri area where Grizzly has an amazing showroom and warehouse), he was excited to help out!

Thank you Shiraz!
