Handcrafted Fly Tying Boxes


Spratley Bros. are two brothers. One is a fly tyer and professional painter while the other is a master carpenter. They have come together build and design a portable alternative for fly tyers (like me) that don't have space in their home for a designated tying area or room. With the help of my bros. my original plywood box has evolved into a "finely handcrafted, heirloom quality" show piece. As great as they look, they are very functional and you just won't want to put your box under the bed or in a closet when you're not tying flies. Due to the high quality of these boxes, we have called them the "Collector's Series" and have numbered the first ten with a brass plaque on the inside of the lid.



There are two sizes and both will hold a surprising amount of tying materials. These boxes are constructed with Jatoba and/or African mahogany which is hand picked, hand milled and book matched. The top and bottom are 1/4 in. Baltic Birch. The outside surface is finished with 3 coats of water born varnish (sanded between coats) which is very durable. The inside is finished with 2 coats. All hardware is solid brass or brass plated where solid was not available. All corner joints are "key miter" for extra strength.
