Re: Traditional floats
they are a tad expensive (£7.50 - £10 each
) so i wouldn't use them in snaggy waters, but they are indeed works of art. Each one takes 2-3 weeks to make because of the craftsmanship and laquering process.

Re: Traditional floats
Nice find tootall
I'd be too worried to use them in case I lost them, but they wouldn't look out of place in a display cabinet!

I've ordered multiples of a few patterns so i can take the best one of each and mount them in a case - the rest i will be using and hoefully not losing
