So when the opportunity came to own a WM+ reel I asked for something very similar to 'The Beult' but just a little bit larger at 4 inch diameter.
I'm chuffed to bits with result so I thought you might like to see 'The Victor':

The Victor
There have been some marvellous reels made by Watermole+ and shown on the Forum, any one of which I would loved to have owned but when Leszek posted pictures of 'The Beult' , a reel he made for Martin James, my envy level went up to eleven.

Ok I have seen it, now can I borrow it?
I'll send it back, honest.

Stunning!

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
