This year I decided to go with a featured auction. What I came up with was a brook trout coffee table.

The table measures 36″ in diameter and 24″ tall. The top is 3/8″ glass and sets on top a 3/16″ thick ring with assorted fly fishing flies cut out with a hand ground swirl pattern. In the middle of the ring, 12″ below the top sets a hand sculpted and painted brook trout measuring 16″ long. The trout is held in place by hand forged and formed tree roots. The table base in coated with a hand applied copper patina. The table was a huge hit and I plan on making another table with the same concept in time for the Up North Lake & Cottage Show in April at Howe Arena.
