Seat, handle and butt cap were all turned by me.
They are cocobolo and finished with Tru-Oil gun stock finish.
I'm currently making a butt cap and winding check for Mike aka Solopaddler that is finished with CA (superglue)
If you want to learn about finishing with CA just google "pen turning" or "ca wood finish".
This is true. I wnet from cheapie blanks while learning and my newest blank is a Sage 7136-4 Spey blank that I'm tying as a float rod. Complete with fugi titanium sic guides, strubel nickle silver skeleton seat, $60 worth of high end cork and some spendy died and stabilized big leaf maple burl.
Cost of all components about $600!!!!
