Just as an aside, I was in GAC today and they are knocking out copies of the large C&F fly boxes for £9.99 called sfx fly boxes under their own stillwater brand http://www.fishingmegastore.com/view.php?module=productsnew&search=fly+boxes&searchbutton.x=13&searchbutton.y=10&parentonly=169

Rowan- pick a wood- it does not alter the price- which will just be a donation to the forum anyway.
Do you want it weighted?

if you think it is ok without lead then I'll go unweighted

Isn't it amazing how many people plump for the cherry ?

Could do, but it would not float well! It is also endangered and expensive. There are plenty of others that could be stained and polished to give a great effect. The fashion for black oak furniture 20 years ago led to a the production of a high-quality stain from Ronseal that allows just about any well-finished wood to achieve the ebony effect. I still have a reasonable supply. Acrylic would do it nicely too.
Otter Spotter's Loomis logo would infringe copyright, as would the images he posted links to. Photo-etching brass can provide stunning detail, and whilst Otter Spotter is the sucker customer, and therefore always right, I thought the cartoon skeletons a bit naff for an heirloom that is going to cost him a bundle. Something more appropriate and refined I thought.

Not sure that Otter looks too healthy!

For me really has to be black and silver the otter is a nice idea but in silver some generic otter images here http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=clip+art+otter&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=wGO&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=np&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=a--5T834Ksja8AP984GVCg&ved=0CIQBELAE&biw=1280&bih=894 - prefer  a more traditional otter pose i.e. on its back wth some grub...
Definitely stained black rather than ebony or such like

Might be worth just spending a few minutes on Gimp or Inkscape with one of your own photos

Rattled this together from one of my own photos with a few clicks
