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.
A couple more
Awsome work. That stripper guide is the icing on the cake. Exceptional craftsmanship.

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.
