Photo Details
Dan Makauskas Registered: February 2007 Location: Lombard IL Posts: 246	My first attempt at a wood handle on a Talon steelhead blank. I glued up the pieces and Mark Blabaum was kind enough to turn it down and finish it (hiding some of my mistakes along the way). Thanks a bunch Mark, I'll get a lathe someday. Used maple, padauk, and walnut. I tried to match the crosswrap to the handle.

Dan, you did a great job on the complete rod. I really like the way you matched the wrap to the grips.
