I like it. Is it real ablaone, if so how did you make it go around the rod? Very nice.

Look at some knife handle sites, as well as Google Abalone. They sell it in some sort of veneer which is extremely delicate and easy to crack. JOe Emig posted abotu this at some point, and Sanford Hochman posted pics of a Tuna rod he did with teh Abalone as the underwrap on all the guides. Great work!!

I googled Abalone and there is a ton of information on it and there is some very nice stuff out there. It's a very interesting use of the veneer Jared, well done. Billy thanks as well.
