Here is my first attempt at a mortised butt bamboo rod. Reel seat is bocote w/ matching bocote for the mortise inserts. Orange jasper accent wraps w/ clear wraps for the guides. Orange,amber and black translucent agate stripper by Snake Brand.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

Holy Cow! Wonderful work. I love the stuff Mike puts out. He was a sponsor a few years back when he first started out. And the first guide is gorgeous,,, You are a fine maker sir.
