Here's a red oak board that I just finished. I had some hackberry laying around that I was going to make into turkey calls, so I threw some on the lathe for the reel. I have had it out a couple of times, but the carp aren't cooperating

holy crap! dude thats got to be the absolute coolest reels i have ever seen. what would it take to get you to make me one?

Ironhead · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:51:11 pm »

Thanks, it's not that pretty now after having been shot a few times. I've had several requests for them. They really need to be a little bigger in diameter and a little deeper. If I get my hands on some nice wood I might try to make some this winter.

sounds good. let me know when you get some made up.

Ironhead, that is one awesome looking reel. I've been trying to think of how I could make one from wood. Not having a lathe or the skill to use one I figured it to be way too time consuming. I might could make a bow in the time it would take to make the reel. haha But, now that I've seen your design and how you attach it to the bow, I might have to try.
