It is from them, but still a Proto type, I changed the wood insert for the horn so I can scrim shaw it.

Very nice scrim shaw work. I almost thought it was laser engraved, very life like and very well done.

The prototype hardware looks great, especially for its potential artisticly as you've done. I'm assumming weave, threadwork, feathers inlays etc... could be incorporated into the hardware also.


How long does your scrim shaw work like this one take? Will any of these seats be available at The Rod Shop booth in High Point?

I am trying to get this or a simular reel seat into my program. the regular spacer is wood, and the end section of the reel seat is alsocovered in wood as a fighting butt. I might have a few with scrim shaw work available, just don't know what I should use for a spacer.
