aplumma Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well Spiel has made me a few rods over the years and one of the first ones handle got damaged. I decided to replace it with a Burl Cork handle that I glued together. I then opened up the 1/4" hole to 9/16 to get it set on a mandrel for turning. After hooking it up to a lathe I sanded it down to the size (1.35 inches tapered to .80 at the butt). The butt of the rod is finished with a Walnut butt cap that my Pops and I made to complete the job. The rods beginnings The thread work Chris made for me The handle I turned The Walnut butt cap Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Chris thanks for the praise it means a lot to me I was not sure I could do justice to the quality of the rod it was installed on. GBW you win you can have the title of the nicest butt in Canada but you got to get a female to vote for you to qualify. I however will retain the title of the nicest International butt.
