I am going to surprise my nephew with a F.D.N.Y. themed med/heavy saltwater boat rod for his birthday. I have some ideas derived from images of NY firetrucks.....red blank....gold/white wraps....Maybe "KEEP BACK 200 FEET" in block letters somewhere. Has anybody ever done one for a fireman? Have any suggestions or pics I can use? Is there somewhere I can get the FDNY logo made into a decal?

I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Thanks
Joe

Go to the NERBS site to the left and look at the FDNY grip Billy built ............very nice work...

It's labelled FDNY here: [northeastrodbuilders.com] DOwn at the bottom of Grip Gallery #2. I used the guys number and the FDNY logo as the image to inlau in the grips.

That is very cool Billy. Thanks, although I have never attempted an inlay that is certainly something I will try to incorporate into the rod.

Do you have any other images of the rod? I would be very interested to see your wraps and color choices.

Do you do any weaving?

I am doing one now on a rod. I designed it on visual weave

I sell inlayed grips made to specs to both rod customers and other rod builders. The rod was built with blak, red and white wraps. I didn't build the rod, I onoy made the grips for another builder who built the rest of the rod.

I never build rod for fireman but last night I just met with fireman that build custom rod for side business...... :-)
