PAUL COOK INSPIRED BOXES
Following on from my 'Paul Cook inspired float box' which I posted sometime ago, I've now gone on to do designs for a lure/ spinner box and a fly box;
The lure box is an old 'dias slide' box, I have removed the wooden slots and will line it with cork so the lures can be hung inside, more pictures to follow...
The fly box is a bamboo effort that I picked up on e-bay. I have added the little latch myself and attached two metal rings so that a piece of cord can be attached to my wading jacket and the box, I often drop my fly box. I had previously been using a 'vue finder' fly box, highly practical with a see through lid, but found it way too modern looking for my liking.
All three boxes 'in situ'. Make a rather nice addition to my book shelf I think...
Thanks for looking,
Scott
