Looking good, the only thing I will suggest is that you wrap the ferrules almost to the end. I only leave about a thread's width at the end.

Thanks for the heads up Ellis, I thought going that close to the end would have the epoxy run off, guess not since you're suggesting it. Now i'm off on my next project a nice bass casting rod with split grip handle, this one will be mine. Will post when done.
