Driftless Handmade Wood Landing Net "Mill Creek" #231 Turkish Walnut

As the name implies, this wood is grown in Turkey and surrounding middle eastern countries.  It is the same genre as our north American Walnut but is a different species.  When you cut into Turkish Walnut, you will definitely tell the difference by its smell;  it definitely doesn’t smell the same.  It is normally used for gun stocks and bird calls, however, when I saw it, I HAD to make it into a net!  I am so glad I did!  No two pieces are alike. It is just as strong as our Black Walnut and weighs close to the same.  It makes beautiful and unique handles for a net!
