What!!! Only a week to make! So we can count on you for some super custom work now.LOL. It does look nice and hope to see more of those, maybe even as a winding check.
Rusty, look at that last pic i also made a winding check for it out of Elk but its not very noticeable in the picture. so here is a bit of a better pic of it unfinished.
Wow Terry, We must be related (don't take that as an insult, I'm not a bad guy). I make marlin trolling lures from antler material...I usually sand down the brown bumpy part--but it sure looks good on your rods.
