Beautiful nets! I'm in the process of building a first net and I'm having trouble with the finishing process. Can you share your finishing process - do you rub on and wipe off an oil, followed by Poly? I seem to be having problems with runs and streaks. Any help is appreciated. And keep up the great work on the nets, very talented.
Just the oil. Like Mr. Miagi said, "Wipe on, Wipe off." Repeat up to 10x My finish is a 3 recipe proprietary mixture that I cannot share though. Good luck!
what are you using for the groove where the net is sewn? a slot cutter in a router table? or are you grooving before you wrap that ply? and what size bit?
Awesome net! What do you use for the metal eyelet in the hole where you put the lanyard?

That's a beautiful net. Motivates me to build my own. Any one know the species of wood he's using for the handle?
Thank you sir. It's Buckeye Burl in the main part, and Wenge up top
