Been at Dad's in Idaho on holiday and he's been teaching me on his lathe. Lower rod is my first turned set of handle reel seat & forgrip nub. Turned from the same piece of cedar.
Upper set is a carved reel seat and matching butt cap I was lucky enough to aquire from Paul Kneller from Australia (THANKS PAUL!)and grips from rings I glued & turned. LATHES ARE COOL!!!!!!
Done some shapping on my power wrapper but the lathe beats that hands down!!
