Spiel Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've spent about 3 hours on this over the last few days while trying to keep up with other work..... It was a special request from a good customer and while I hate doing it and I tried to talk him out of it he was persistent. So given that I've persisted in wrapping a four sided chevron in three colours, metallic black, metallic silver and garnet. The guides will incorporate the same colour scheme. Anyhow I've still much thread packing to do on it then finish it off with hook keeper wrap and far end wrap but here's where I'm at...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemper Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Insane Chris, I can't imagine ever having the patience to do that. Not at all my style, but impressive work nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Insane Chris, I can't imagine ever having the patience to do that. Not at all my style, but impressive work nonetheless. Thanks bud, it'll be finished without CP which will make it a lot less dramatic than the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twocoda Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 very nice...it seems someone has made a commitment to a rod for the rest of his/her life...congrates whoever is going to own this...and grates on the craftmanship... can wait to see how it finishes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Chris that is amazing. I think I know what I want for my next rod haha. Just kidding. I am not a big fan of it but then again seeing it finished fully with the rest of the rod could change my mind.

MJL Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Chris, it looked amazing in person when I was there to see it yesterday. I guess you can be rest assured that you won't need to do that on my next build...You may need to turn out some wood inlays for a handle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walnut, Ambrosia Maple, Cherry to name a few. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
