Nice work Steve. That reel seat turned out nice. From the photo it looks like that piece of wood has some good "depth"...I bet it looks even better in person. I dig that burgandy colored blank as well. I may have to pick up one of those blanks myself. I too like throwing the big streamers for our Michigan browns...hitting the Ausable tomorrow despite the forecast of snow. I could stand a little more backbone than my current set-up has though.
