Two ready to wrap

    Finished up the glueing and clean up of two blanks now.  They are ready to wrap. A 6'3" 4 weight Midge and the 7'10" 3/4 weight. Two more are ready to final plane.

Removing the final remnants of glue.

I have picked out some timber for the next few rods. Koa, Cuban Mahogany, Spanish Cedar, and Koa again. I'll make final decisions after turning them.

Cork glued up for the grips. Ready to turn.

Grips after turning.

Ferrules mounted and ready for clean up and blueing.

Ferrules blued and now ready to wrap. I am thinking these are going to be wrapped in Dk. Brown vintage Gudebrod nylon tipped with orange gossamer and maybe some black thrown in also.

Thanks for looking.
