Title: Cool gifts
Post by: PEARL DRUMS on December 28, 2016, 08:35:11 am
The last few Christmas' my oldest sons girlfriends father and I make and exchange gifts. Last year he got a mini osage bow and arrows and I got a tin full of hand made soap, love that stuff. This year he got a skunk/fox hat I made and I got a half dozen of the coolest slip bobbers ever. They are made from wine corks and plastic sucker sticks he got at a craft store. The bodies are shaped by hand with sand paper, then dipped in paint. He dipped the whole bobber in poly to seal it up and harden it up. They are too cool. I'm sure I will try my hand at a few.

Those are very cool gifts.  We need an action picture with a fat bluegill on the line.

Your daughter and I have something in common. I have an huge collection from cool bobbers to junk bobbers, but they are ALL mine! I kayak a good amount and grab every snagged bobber I pass.

Those are very cool. I love the idea of using old corks too. I might have to give that a try.

Very Cool Pearl, like how he used what would all be wasted materials to make a very appropriate hand made gift for you. Good thing the Lions played on Monday night, at least the 1st half was entertaining

Pearl her only rule on bobbers is no new ones from stores. We also canoe and kayak and that's where 90% of her collection has came from.

Bobber collectors. That makes me chuckle for some reason.
Those are cool though. May have to give that a try for Father's Day. 😉
