Had a Blast!!!

Team Riley Rods (me and my better half Vikki) had an absolutely great time being back at The Show!

Thank you to everyone, old friends and new. We truly appreciate all the support, kind words and feedback in regards to our Carbon Fiber and Composite Grips products and process. It really helps us to improve.

To all that were able to attend my Seminar, I hope you picked something up and were inspired to try making your own.

And of course, Thanks Tom, you always deliver the goods. Winston-Salem was a nice change of pace too.

All ready looking forward to next year!

Mike,
Thank you for the 'eyes-on' explanation of the Carbon fiber handle process. I think I got the process down now.
Let’s see some 'subdued/flat' colors (OD-green, browns, tans).
Might entice some of those old fashion Bamboo guys to try them out.

I'm already looking at pigments to experiment with.

Thanks again.

Larry

Really enjoyed the seminar, and it made the process a lot more approachable. I have made 3 cores already, and should have some handles made in no time. Thanks for the inspiration!
