Many thanks, I have posted one example under the "Equipment" section with a link to my website
Griff,
Welcome to the board. I look forward to reading your posts and hear about the hunts in the UK. I must say your hoods look fantastic. I wish I had the skill to make them. I have tried and tried and they usually come out looking horrible. So i leave the hood making up to you guys :lol:
please dont hesitate to add suggestions or post stories or if you have a DIY project that you think others could do.. post it
again, thakn you for joining and welcome to the board

Man that hood is beautiful... you really have a talent griff. What kind of man hours do you have in a hood like theat. Ijust love how clean the lines are
great work
Griff makes some very nice hoods. Especially when you figure he's only been making them a short time. Just a couple of years, right Griff?

That just makes them even more impressive.Originally Posted by GriffMJ
You got that right! I made nice functionable kestrel hood on my first attempt, but it is probably my last attempt too. 8) Your hoods are pretty awesome!
Thanks,
Wes
Hi Guys
Many thanks for your comments..... remember that the hood is only as good as the "block" it comes off....... all the blocks I use are American.... Rollins, Tait, Stoddart and Maynes ..... if it wasnt for your experienced falconers we Brits would be stuck with old Glasier blocks etc.... so I owe a debt of thanks to the guys that put the time into making excellent hood blocks (and making them available for sale)
Best regards
