Thanks for sharing your techniques Pat Vinzant, I did this rod as my attempt to recreate your beautiful design on a surf rod.

Client wanted a rod built with a "Purple Haze" theme. This was my first marbled attempt; I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Just goofing off last night, thought I'd try something different (well at least for me), I think the first attempt turned out pretty good; now I've got a lot of ideas.

First attempt at an EVA inlay. Went a lot smoother than I thought it would and turned out OK. Now that I have a little feel for it I've got some ideas for a few other projects.

Thought I'd post a shot of my latest project, I've enjoyed learning this new technique.

Finally got this one finished this weekend. 10' 2pc. My first closed wrap. Hope you approve. Thanks, Walt

First attempt at this technique, It sure doesn't turn out like you think it will. Thanks Scott Throop and Bill Colby for showing guys like me how to do it.

My first attempt at a closed wrap. I think I'm about to cross over to the dark side. Some of the work I see on this board is really inspiring. I hope my work looks as good someday...Walt

Just finished this honey spinner 8' 2pc. I've always liked the old school look of honey colored rods so I thought I'd make a few and try to put a few new color combinations together. Actually my wife picks most of my colors. I hope you approve.....Walt

This is my first attempt at a feather inlay. The feathers are peacock, jungle cock, and rooster. I learned a lot on this project and look forward to my next attempt.

This is my first post, and my first purple rod as well. Purple rod with pink accents and fuschia glitter in the finish coat. It's a gift for my son's girlfriend, she's the only one in the group that fishes with me. I hope she likes it. I've got to practice my photography skills to compete with the awesome photos I see on this site. Thanks, Walt
