I recently finished a nice 7’ bamboo fly rod and needed a case. This one is maple; I stained it with Transtint dye, and then removed most with alcohol. This left just enough stain to emphasize the grain. This time I was even able to book match the strips.

The reel seat and cork grip were turned on the lathe.

A true classic which your granddaughter will treasure! She’s a very lucky young lady.
