    Default St Croix SCV 9', 4pc, 4w

    I really need to get a photo tent built like what Steve did. Either that, or move to the Northwest where the sun never shines and you have nice flat light all the time.

    This is one of 3 rods for the same customer.

    St. Croix SCV 4w, nothing horribly fancy to it. The wraps are olive with bronze and black accents, no CP. I added measurement marks at 12, 16, 20, and 24 inches as well as a simple feather inlay. I turned the grip with green burl accents to go with the rod color a bit. I do turn grips for this guy a bit larger to fit his hand a bit better.

    Kevin,

    Being a sucker for a nice piece of wood, it's almost a shame to cover up that burl insert. From what I can see, it's a beauty. Very, very nice work - as to be expected from someone with your considerable skill/artistic eye. Thanks for sharing. If I EVER finish the trout nets I have in various stages of completion, I would like to try my hand at rod making. Lots of inspiration here!

    Best Regards, Dave S.

    But this one is my favorite! Love the olive on olive!
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
