Something a bit different for me.... A spinning rod!
This is a bargain basement spinning rod I made for one of the guys down at the VFW. His wife ordered it and needed to keep costs down, so I went super basic with a Custom Builder Kit from Mudhole.
As can be seen, it is one of my Military Rods. The blank came as a single piece so I cut and made a spigot ferrule. Ron is an Army Vet from the VietNam era and his service ribbons reflect that.
The wraps were done in black with an accent of 3 turns of metallic gold. I dressed the cork up a tad with some green burl and put the graphic in the split grip area to change things up a little.
