Re: New project a home made centrepin 4''
Now that is a setup that cannot be bought, a superb job Evert, the reel is one of a kind and I doubt anybody with the exception of another poster on here ( wonder who ? ) could replicate.
Well done indeed.

Re: New project a home made centrepin 4''
Impressive job so far
I am interested in the choice of wood for making a reel - do you need to select a particular cut such as quarter sawn timber to prevent warping in the future? Are there some woods which are a better choice than others?
Cheers
