I'm playing with some different back drops and photo work. The rods have all been posted before, and the four on the right were down at the Nerbs booth this last weekend. I'm trying to upgrade my photo skills as well as my threadwork.

Jorge, the far right is Maple (light), Cherry (middle), and Walnut (dark). The fly rod on the far left is Big leaf Maple Burl. Second from the left is Wenge, and Corian trim. Middle is Bocote with a Maple chevron. The spider web is Walnut and Maple veneer. Thanks for the interest Mark

It was beautiful work and I only wish I'd had more time to look it over closely and get some photos of it.

Mate the spider web pattern would look really great with Ross's red back spider wrap. Fantastic works Mark.

Exhaust fumes not only have an anti aging effect and tweak the creative side but ramp up the photo skills also. Incredible display. May also be the crazy glue fumes because I breath exhaust all day and have no where near the talent you have!!!
