Spiel Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Been swamped in work lately with many of my customers looking for new rods for the upcoming ice out steelhead season. Thought I'd share a few of the many handles I have on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Outstanding creations as always Chris !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) That top one looks like it was made just right,the way the lines flow out from the seat.So even. I like the locking style rings.4 one down. Like you could use a key wrench to tighten them. Nice work as always Chris. Now stop it,You know I want one,but will have to wait.

Roy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Artwork no doubt! I love the third from the top. What kind of wood is that. Looks blue. Paul, I believe Chris once said that it was big leaf maple dyed green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks everyone, very much appreciated. Paul, I believe Chris once said that it was big leaf maple dyed green. I do use that Roy but not this time, it's blue dyed Box Elder Burl. To note I can't take credit for any of the wood work this time, it was all done by my good friend John Collina.

You are too modest Spiel Paint is just paint, before you put it on canvas Edited February 21, 2013 by mercman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 How ironic, Chris! It took the mere mention of maple to get you out of the woodwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDR Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ya, that's me the "Stalker" You can't run! so there is nowhere to hide now I just wanted to say "Hi" to all.

grimsbylander Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey Chris just wanted to thank you for fixing up my rod I shortened accidentally last fall. Great meeting you and spending an hour learning and seeing some of your craftsmanship. If anyone is wondering, those pictures don't do the rods justice. They're even more beautiful in person and feel amazing in your hand. Thanks again!! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidge Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Jeeez nice talent, those look good Spiel. Pardon my ignorance, but do you sell these? I'm thinking of getting into some fly fishing this spring or summer, but the rod I got is a mighty old hand me down. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but thought I'd ask. I'm with Misfish, I like that black line in the grain on the top one. Nicely done once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know where I'm at, don't be a stranger. Jeeez nice talent, those look good Spiel. Pardon my ignorance, but do you sell these?

Kind of a hobby gone out of control. Amazing handles ! You turn a mean reel seat. Thank you but as I've mentioned before all (well almost all) of my seats are turned by friend JC.
