Inlayed EVA and Billy's Chinese Star. I was totally disgusted with this one when I found I had a thread had jumped prior to epoxy but I didn't see it until I went to photograph it. You bet,it's right in the middle of the 0 axis. I'm that ashamed, I don't want to show it.

This is a refurbished rod of my own done in Mettler Polysheen #40. This was a very hard rod to photograph as the colours appear very dark. In reality, it looks great and the purple is a lot brighter.
