I'm building a 13.5' spey rod and need and opinion on technique. I have a great piece of Juniper I want to use for the reel seat insert and the end of the rear grip. Knowing that it's a soft wood/but light weight and I may get some tearout while turning. Should I coat the wood with a hardener like Minwax wood restorer? Also what for a finish? I was thinking Tru oil but that tends to darken the wood somewhat. thanks Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
