My 12-6-00 style shown above duplicates the original Geo. Lawrence "Tillamook" creel with the classic embossed border-stamped design on the lid, center band, hinge, and shoulder strap.  A matching, padded and leather-lined shoulder strap accompanies each creel.  (An enlarged view of the border-stamping designs can be  seen on Page 5.)	The 12-7-00 creel basketry is colored green, has a center pocket, and full leather top; all decorated with my "dry fly / jumping fish" design.
The 4-1-01 double-pocket style creel has my "dry fly" theme embossed on the pockets, and the classic border design applied to the lid and center band.	My 2-15-02 design with the red and blue basketry, and white stars is an example of the unlimited art-work possibilities in designing a creel.  It was great fun to create.
I applied an old family sterling buckle closure on the extra wide central band of this beautiful tightly woven, split willow, center-hole style 1-22-02 creel. It is set off by a basket weave border design.	Instead of the usual carrying harness, this 2-25-00 creel is carried by the standard padded shoulder strap attached to a full "cradle" assembly which supports the creel. A custom knife sheath is attached to the main "cradle" support strap. The pocket is closed with two buckle straps instead of the standard pair of flap snaps.           CLICK ANY PHOTO TO ENLARGE
