Just completed... The build features bronzed NS/tiger maple cap and ring seat, blued Snake Brand Universal guides with the matching blued yellow agate stripper, all wrapped in golden-olive silk. Signature wrap, stripper inlays and the tip-top wraps are sunburst thread, while the ferrule wraps are done in transparent silk, so that white aligning marks are not obscured. Garrison-inspired 6" flor cork grip. Aluminum rod tube and custom tailored rod cloth round out the package.

Metal Patina on Fountain Pens
Small distraction from fly fishing and rod building...:-) I have a small collection of fountain pens, which I use in my everyday work. These two were stripped and refinished, with patina finish carefully applied.
