something I have been doing

So I know I have not been on here for awhile. This is some of the stuff I have been doing. First thing is a reel seat. We had a plum tree we trimed so I took one of the bigger branchs and turned it into this

Next is a little something I have been working with and has turned out to be very popular. The first one is on the lathe and ready for finish

The next one is with the finish applied (tung oil and wax) and the reel seat combined:

Did I mention this is for a 7 year old boy. He goes to montana every summer to spend it with his grandpa fly fishing. The rod is a 6 foot fiberglass and I will post pics when I am through.

Great looking grip. What is it made from? I can hardly wait to see the glass rod.

red fir bark

Very nice work. Thsoe look good together and that workmanship is very nice.

I am going to send you a PM on thsi topic.
