WEST VIRGINIA + MANDARIN CHOP STICK GALL FLOAT
IT SOUNDS CRAZY BUT MEMBER STEVE WILSON SENT ME SOME GALLS FROM HIS HOME STATE AND HE INCLUDED SOME CHOP STICKS HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE INTO A QUILL TYPE FLOAT. I HAD NO LUCK WITH THE CHOP STICKS AS A FLOAT BY THEMSELVES BUT I USED ONE OF THE BROKEN GALLS TO MAKE A HYBRID. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH STEVE THANKS FOR INSPIRATION AND THE SUPPLIES.
