Mike,
Another stunning wrap!!!! Just curious as to how much time that wrap took you and what was the diameter of the blank?

Russ...3-4 hrs sit down time, setup, packing etc on a 12 mm blank...the bigger question is what's it worth? $20, $50, $100 ...more? is it Art or BS that has no place on a fishing rod?

It is art MJ and worth no less than $25 to 30 per inch. It is art no matter how you slice it.
