I’m getting better at these!
The top rod is a Mesquite handle with a coat of tung-oil but it was kinda dull so I dipped it on clear epoxy.
The second rod is Texas ebony with few coats of tung-oil. That was actually a dried dead branch, they have the best color blends. I used 7w and 8w fly rods. These rods are for the sheepheads(fish) off the jetties now in season.

These are beautiful. I do some fly fishing as well, but have trouble finding time because I like to spend more time in my workshop. However, this would be unique gift for my brother how’s an avid fly fisherman. I would love to exchange some message with you so I can try to do one myself – as a gift.
Thanks for sharing!

Hey, can you tell me the website of your client who purchase the Texas Ebony log to make flutes with? I think I met a flute player in AZ who has one of his flutes.
