THE WOODEN FLY BOX YOU "WANT" TO USE IN THE FIELD.
$75
THE CARSON WOODWORKS FLY BOX
- NO EXTERIOR HARDWARE TO SNAG YOUR CLOTHING
- Protective Finish - Where most "high end" fly boxes have only an oil finish, I take extra steps. In addition to a penetrating oil, I apply 3 protective coats of satin polyurethane on the exterior and interior. They feel good in your hands!
- Made from multiple pieces of wood. - Most "high end" fly boxes have been cut out of a single block of wood. This leaves two sides of the box all end grain which is prone to checking and cracking with use. The sides of my fly boxes are a frame of 4 pieces mitered and glued at the corners. The top and bottom is a 3/32" thick veneer. There is very little end grain on my boxes.
- Stronger & Lighter Weight - The frame construction of my fly boxes creates a "torsion box" which is much lighter and sturdier than "block" construction. My boxes won't weigh you down!
- Quality Hardware & Foam - My boxes include "rare earth" magnet latches (the most powerful non-electric magnets on earth) and hidden brass cylinder hinges. The foam inserts are high quality "closed-cell" foam. They look nice and will hold a fly better than the open cell type.
- Caddis Fly Image - I burn in, by hand, a caddis fly image on the top of each fly box. No computer generated images here!
