I just went to midwest custom rods site and WOW! Steve you do some very nice work. Your color schemes are awesome. I love what you did with some snakeskins. Although a little hard to work with they can liven up a rod a lot. You feather inlays were excellent. My question for you now is have you ever worked with mother of pearl? Keep up the great work I can only aspire to be halve the rod builder you are.
