Description:
Today most lobster pot buoys are made of a hard flotation foam and bought at marine supply stores. Fifty years ago, lobster pot buoys were made of wood and had to be turned on a lathe to give them their shape. Earlier buoys were carved by hand using a hatchet from squared off pieces of wood.
