Unique new home made tying bench...

[Grn Mt Man]

My friend Bob gave me permission to post this info from the Roanoke, VA T.U. Chapter #308 website. Bob's a pretty innovative tier and now he's taken to creating some interesting "stuff" and I though the FAOL membership and visitors might like to see some of his work.


Unique Tying Bench

Robert Marek says about this bench, "I've been working for several weeks on a new fly tying bench. Well its nearly complete and I thought some of the guys who tie might like to see it. The wood is a chunk of oak cut long ways. I found the elk antler in the Flathead River in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. The deer antler bobbin holder is a deer that Dover's brother Bill killed several years ago.

That is awesome! Very nice work! And now I know what I am going to do with the blacktail shed I have.

Thanks,

My suspicion is that anyone capable of designing/building a table like that is also capable of tying some awesome flies!

As I have done a little woodworking over the years I can see a ton of work in turning a slab of rough cut oak into such a picturesque tying desk. The craftsman did an awesome job. Is he going to mount it on its own pedestal and make it a table? If so please post a photo of the final product.
