This is a little 2pc, 7'6", 5w. I didn't get too fancy with it, but the wraps took forever to figure out.

Very kewl!!
The first rod I built for Cary had the Vietnam service metal replicated on it. To size.
That would be too cool!Quote:

Cheap advertising, too ;)
If you can't lay your hands on the actual ribbons, there are wonderful on line sources that show the ribbons very clearly.
I think that would be a really nifty project!!
I need to ask to see what might be the best service ribbon to use. I thought about doing an "Armed Forces" rod with each of the services represented somehow. I'm just not sure what to do. A rod with the VietNam service ribbon would be good, but what about younger members from Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and others? I wish I knew of one ribbon they all get that would mean something.
I don't know some of this as I didn't serve. I was 4F. Guys from the Korea and Viet Nam eras know what that is. I do help out in an auxiliary fashion when I can, though.
