Reel maker, if you send me a pm with dimensions of the piece you want, then I’ll give it a go.

I was in wilko yesterday for some essential yacht varnish and as I was descending on the escalator I happened to glance up and saw several bundles of 8ft garden canes. After the essential yacht varnish had been gathered I ascended the escalator and cast a eye over the garden cane bundles, and low and behold, out of maybe 20 bundles, one thick and straight cane absolutely begging to become a traditional landing net handle. The bundle cost three pounds, I removed the cane in question and gifted the rest to my next door but one neighbour as he never turns a freebie down, ever....

Thanks

I will keep my eyes open and if I find anymore good canes I will buy them as a matter of course and then if anyone wants one we can sort it out.

Thanks
