Default Custom rods (pic's)

My Dad made these rods for me. I thought I'd share a little of his handy work with you all. Each and everyone has a special memory for me. Most are G-Looms blanks. The funny part about my dad is he doesn't even fish.



Enjoy

WOW! Now that's craftsmanship! Those are wraps I'd be proud to own ... doubly so if they were from my dad! Thanks so much for sharing the images!

Those are some really nice wraps you got there. More for hanging on the wall to admire.

Ok, now I feel like a total maroon. I bought the Clemens book on Butt Wraps a few weeks ago and so far it makes as much sense as hyroglyphics. I will have to just give it a shot and see what develops.

Gorgeous work!

I'm happy to just get the guides tied on straight. That's amzing. Just for fun you should put those on ebay with an unrealistic reserve to see what people would pay for those. Quite a bit I'd imagine.
