Good ole RED WHITE and BLUE. Been out of touch for awhile. Finished this a while back and finally got to post it. Those aren't bubbles in the finish, they're rain drops.

Thanks to BV for another great pattern. It goes well with the grip I think.

Paul Rimbeck gave me these two ellipticals at the show last year. I finally did something with them. I take no credit for these at all. Thanks Paul.

Voltron kinda looks more like a Mariachi.Not exactly what I had in mind. If I ever get a camera that does real justice to the colors, or I learn how to use mine, I'll repost this thing. Love the pattern, not the execution.

This is from Jim uptons' book. Sorry Jim, you probably don't recognize it. Got lost a few times, got some threads in the wrong place but I had to try it. Great book,,I'm just not much of a weaver.

I think this is a little closer to what Billy had in mind. Next time it will be a dead on hit.

This was supposed to be a really great looking pattern by BIlly V. called Tony Butcher, but due to what is eveidently, senile dementia, all I got was the BUTCHER part right. This doesn't look anything like the VW pattern. Sorry Billy,, this is one for the torture chamber.

Due to brain cramps this pattern is slightly modified. This is on my grandsons rod. He picked the colors and helped put everything together. Even did some guide wraps.

This ones on a SCv 6'3" spin jig rod. A little brain cramp caused the diamond for the close. At least I know for next time.

The colors don't really grab ya' but they look good on the SCv blank. The guy wanted something understated.
