Avons ready for the new season

Some Avons prepared for the new season, completed 36 hours before the rivers re-open (in England anyway, for international readers. Not sure Scotland for example has a closed season....)


On the left, balsa on crow quill, and on the right balsa on pheasant tail, both in Dorset county flag colours


Three balsa on birchwood Avons, the colouring came out particularly nicely on the stems after the first coat of dye, so much so I didn't bother with any subsequent coats

Best of luck to all venturing out for the new season tomorrow...
