Hello and Question
(Preview)
Relatively new to the board, it has been a long time since building a rod (1980) and am studying all info I can find before starting the next one. Want to say thanks to all that have posted. My question is has anyone wrapped a handle in leather? I was thinking of using carved leather wrapped around the rod...
