Its almost finished apart from the fact when I put it together on the drier I put my finger onto one of the whippings at the end of a section. Oh well I've got one more coat to do then... Last night I finally figured out how to get bubbles out! So the finish is pretty good apart from a few very stubborn fuzzies!
The alignment marks
One of the rod whippings
The name etc on the handle
And finally the whole rod
It appears that taking photos of rods is even harder than taking photos of flies!
To be honest I think it you can make flies then making a rod is within your grasp. I just need to save up to start on my next project. The Barrio kit is an excellent starting point because its all there in one group. Buying a blank and individual parts to go with it would be a different kettle of fish. But I'm sure with the right research and advice I'll manage it.
Cheers
Matt
