    Default Beautiful hand-crafted fly box

    On a recent fishing trip, I met a guy from Southern California. He was in the Yellowstone area to fish for the entire summer. He showed me some wooden fly boxes that he makes. I couldn't believe how beautiful and practical they were.
    Both sides have a decorative wooden inlay.
    The box is Quilted Cherry with inlays of Karelian Birch.

    The interior has cork strips for the flies.

    Each corner has a strong little magnet to "snap closed" and stay closed.

    The brass hinges are very strong!



    Unfortunately, I missed seeing him before I left and did not get contact info. I only know his last name which is "Murphy". I don't think he is a tier, so I will probably never get his full name or a contact.

    Thought others might want to see his handiwork.
