A rod built for my friend Pierre, with a special cork handle designed only for him (Gordon type. I have tried to build a sobre rod, so as to meet his demand, I hope he will appreciate.

A rod in process, as you can see I haven’t planned to use any CP, I think it will better match the blank colour (a kind of brown honey) and the wood. As soon as I figured out how to take better picture with my new camera, I will post some nice ones.

23. Wood handles
First attempt to turn/shape wood handles with matching reel seats.
I still have some doubts about them: slippery when wet ?

I was having a walk in the woods that surround my home so as to find some mushrooms when I found this piece of wood, you can not really the colours but I can tell you that they are really nice… I am really looking forward to turning a reel seat with it.

I have turned those two handles with the same cork coming from wine barrels caps, I really like the result. I haven't applied any finish on one of the reel seat yet.

I wanted to share with all of you my last experiment... Where I live in France I am surrounded by vineyards, so I have asked to one of the guy I know to give me some cork, the one he uses for his barrels... I have shaped an handle with it and the result exceed my expectations. The look is great and the handle looks "denser" and more solid.
