Joe,

That looks excellent. Do you mind sharing your engraver? I'm having a tough time finding an engraver that can work on round stock.

Thanks,

Scott

In the assortment of reel seats that Joe sent me for use in the magazine, I saw some of the best art and scrimshaw work I've ever seen on reel seats or fishing related articles. I'll have more of Joe's work in upcomming issues. In fact, we have an article on scrimshaw coming in a near future issue.

Thanks Doc, Mark and Doug. Doc, I drew the fish heads from a picture of a smallmouth. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
