St Croix SCV 9', 4pc, 4w

I really need to get a photo tent built like what Steve did. Either that, or move to the Northwest where the sun never shines and you have nice flat light all the time. :)

This is one of 3 rods for the same customer.

St. Croix SCV 4w, nothing horribly fancy to it. The wraps are olive with bronze and black accents, no CP. I added measurement marks at 12, 16, 20, and 24 inches as well as a simple feather inlay. I turned the grip with green burl accents to go with the rod color a bit. I do turn grips for this guy a bit larger to fit his hand a bit better.

Kevin,

Being a sucker for a nice piece of wood, it's almost a shame to cover up that burl insert. From what I can see, it's a beauty. Very, very nice work - as to be expected from someone with your considerable skill/artistic eye. Thanks for sharing. If I EVER finish the trout nets I have in various stages of completion, I would like to try my hand at rod making. Lots of inspiration here!

Best Regards, Dave S.
