With a special wood-wax we can finish the MDF wood, so it will look like mahogany

The end result is very good, a nice shine

Looks good to me!

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
