@Kevin approached me about some floats and this is what I came up with. I know you're traveling man so no rush, I'm just trying to wrap some stuff up this weekend and this was on the list.

Due to a little mishap with the laser I redid some of these and also did some things I've never done before.

The first is I back filled Kevin and his wife's floats with sterling silver which presented challenges that I'm not used to. I feel the result is well worth it and something I will be doing more.

Secondly Is the stems on the floats. I've had people asking about a "slip" float design where the line passes through the body instead of being in a fixed position.

I've been playing around with them and also have them in the hands of some people I know for testing. The results have been good enough that I'm comfortable enough in selling some.

So Kevin has a mix of fixed and slip floats all with laser work just only showing a couple for privacy.

I'll explain the rigging to you later and hope you like them!

Wow! I wasn't expecting that. I showed them to my wife and she just kept saying wow! I had not told her about this and I usually do not ever tell her about trades I make because she likes surprises. But since we are in a hotel room in Reston Louisiana watching NBA playoff games I figured what the heck.

I don't know what to say Cody except that those are awesome. Sterling silver?! I'm going to have to mail a whole bunch of wood to make this trade work LOL. Thank you so much!

They were fun to make and the challenges were also fun. To hear you both already like them is even better!
 
I'd love to see how you make these if that's something you would like to share.
