Steve,
Do you know approximately how long until you'll be shipping me the rod to wrap.

That's looking pretty good there, Steve. Thanks for the photos and all the effort you're putting in.

IIRC Marcelo Calviello made some rods where he dark roasted half the strips and did the glue up alternating dark and blonde. We've got a taste of that in the butt section, eh?

Thanks for posting the pics Steve. That's going to make a unique and very nice rod for someone.

Just curious where things are with this rod? Are we getting pretty close?

I've got the thread and the guides.As soon as Steve gets his part done he will ship it to me to wrap.
I'm shooting to have my part done and shipped to you no longer than a week to ten days after I recieve it.
