Date: November 30, 2008 03:50PM Working a bit out of my element this one of first 2 fly rod builds. Blank is a Lamiglas PFT 108 5/6 (9 ft 3 piece). The seat is amboyna burl with engraved cap & ring hardware made by Jeffery & Rhonda VanZandt. The full wells grip is birch bark & amboyna burl and was made for me by J.P. Timberlake. The guides are Fuji TSVG #12 & #8 strippers with TLSG6J's running guides. I wanted something special for this particular build and Jeff & Rhonda & J.P. were definately the right choices. THANKS JP, Jeff & Rhonda and everyone who helped with answers to my questions. BTW, JP warned me to be careful when reaming but I still broke the grip prior to mounting. If you see where the joint is don't blame JP ! That grip was pristine when I got it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
