materials for making carbon fiber handle
Posted by: Steve Bro (---.automatededm.com)

I have been wanting to try making a carbon fiber handle for some time, I'd like to order the materials needed to build one. I'd like to use one of the sponsors. Maybe I missed a link, but was not able to find the materials on any of the web sites. I have the rod maker issue that covers the building process, and I'm sure Tom had listed sponsors that stocked these items, but I don't have the issue with me at this time.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I have been getting my supplies from Riley Rods and have been very satisfied. Give them a call, they will help you out.
Caution, making these handles can be very addiciting!!!

I think he's talking about the skins for making free form carbon handles rather than tubes for use as straight handles.

As above, Riley Rods on the left is a very good source for both the products and information on the building process.
