I finished the rod and thought that it needed something besides a tube. So I built a Walnut box to put the rod in. I have a leather shop making a couple of straps to give it a safari gun case look. I will post a picture when the box is finished.

Bruno, the finish was 4 coats of Minwax Poly. Thanks all for the kind words Mark.
