Title: Birthday Gift...
Post by: Alto Mare on June 15, 2019, 05:40:11 PM
A couple of weeks ago my daughter gave me this birthday gift and I wanted to share it with you guys.
She copied it from one of Penn's patented drawing, making minor changes on the knob.
It is hand stitched.

Happy Birthday Sal.
The gifts made specially for someone have more meaning than those purchased. Very nice piece of handmade folk art. I will know it will be cherished.

I agree with Brett and George--you can't beat a handmade gift, especially a fishing-themed one to an angler.

Happy Birthday Sal!  And Happy Father's Day as well!  Your daughter is definitely a chip off the block, she is a gifted, skilled and creative as her Dad, and that is a very unique and special piece!

Totally missed this one.  Let me start out by wishing Sal and Daron a Big Happy Birthday from me and mine.  You guys are just getting better with age. 8)
Sal, Alyssa is one creative girl who made her dad one heck of a special gift.  Enjoy it, cherish it, and thanks for sharing it.  Love what she did with the handle.
She's a good one for sure.
Best to yas,
Dom
