I had to show this one off...
I just finished this one up last week. Here's a link to the imgur.com gallery: [imgur.com] And a link to my Rodbuilding.org gallery as well: [www.rodbuilding.org] Nickle silver REC reel seat with buckeye burl insert. Recoil snake guides, stripper guide, and tip top. Custom designed and turned cork grip with checkerboard inlays, and a mayfly burn. There is also a custom mayfly weave on the butt section. All thread wraps are black NCP, with green metallic trim. Let me know what you guys think! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/18/2015 10:57AM by Dave Gallenberger.

Dave, nice looking rod. That mayfly weave and imprint on the cork look very classy. How did you get the image on the grip? With a laser or woodburning tool? It doesn't look like it is "burned" deep into the cork. Re: Sage One 590-4 I just finished up!

Thanks guys!
Jared, the mayfly on the grip was done with a wood burning pen. I did it fairly light so it was a bit more subtle. Re: Sage One 590-4 I just finished up!

Thank you, Dave. That very subtle burn looks fantastic! I got my woodburning pen out a couple weeks ago when my youngest son (who is 4) wanted a "Batman" themed rod. I burned the Batman symbol on one side of the cork and the old school "Batman" written in the cape ala Adam West. I used to burn a lot of wood 15-20 years ago and thought "why not cork". Definitely need some more practice to even approach what you did. But it gives me hope. Ha ha Re: Sage One 590-4 I just finished up!

I can't draw a straight line to save my life, and the woodburner is even harder for me. I use graphite transfer paper to get the outline on the grip, and then do the burn. It's much easier for me! Re: Sage One 590-4 I just finished up!

you do great work, I want to add a comment that might help on the long run I have had very poor results when using the the cork you put on the very end of your grips, stay with regular cork rings or the rubber ones , they will hold up a lot better over time, the burnt l cork don't hold up as a wear ends , in the grips they are great but not on the ends
that is what I found out the hard way it just started to chip off then I had to replace it , what a mess William Sidney AK Re: Sage One 590-4 I just finished up!

Thank you William!
I had no idea that burled cork chipped so easily! Now I'm nervous, I've been putting burled cork on the ends for a while now... Hopefully I don't get too many back... Thanks for the heads up! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
