Here are some teaser pictures for the rod build. I've got the wraps just about done. Still waiting on a backordered rod dryer that should get to me mid next week. If you can look past the loose threads and masking tape you can see where I decided to go with this. Only thing left to add is some tipping on the ferrule wraps. In case you're wondering, I've left the tag ends of thread that way I can do some last minute tightening prior to adding color preserver and thread finish. I'll tighten and then trim them back just before finishing.
Thanks for looking!

Nice work Nic. Very good looking wraps. Can't wait to see the finished product. Dave V
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
