yesterday I got rattled briefly before recovering

varnish

a pretty boring picture but it does show one of the finishing touches

this one is almost done

steve's 7012

not like this though

renegades and softies

old school?

inspired by whimsy

I downloaded this damn thing and am enjoying the hell out of it

y'know I was there a time or two or three

back in the day yo

still sounds damned good

fuck it great at times

we're working again in ye olde rod shoppe that rocks

a metric assload of curls

taking split strips (14 - 4 were alreadydone) to butt size

three sections planed to butt size

I had planned to take a pic illustrating the contrast

taking butt size strips to mid size and tip size

but the lovely wife swept it up being helpful after all

the difference was striking

tip mid and butt

3pc 6ft 3wt

ready for glue

casting sequence

josh snapped a series of shots of me 

casting into a sweet slot 

while perched above oak creek canyon

whoa nellie that's a bit sloppy but efficient enough

producing beautiful drifts right down broadway

I was firing dries about 40-45ft on a 3wt line

w/ one backcast

I only like two things that I see in the shots above

the low line hand and the shot clearly showing the rod loaded 

as the forward cast is delivered
