The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

The green/yellow works for me, the green has darkened a treat

I'm with Paul this round ;)
Green and yellow do look really great indeed.

Evening Chaps,

Just a quick update, progress is a bit slow but there's a new dog in the house so the rods been on the back burner. However, that being said, I have done some work this evening, the brass fittings has been cleaned and re-blued, hopefully they meet with your approval.









If the weathers bad this weekend and my good lady is busy with the Christmas prep then hopefully I will be able to crack on with the rod.

very professional job with the bluing

Welcome to the Forum. Well done with the refurb,I use dark red whipping silk, no reason,just like thats all. With Crucian as a Mentor you will not go far wrong. Enjoy the Forum, we have a great membership who will be only too pleased to help in any way. Regards, Chris.

That's looking lovely

A very warm welcome to the forum JT. That is a lovely start on what will, I am sure, become a beautiful refurb. As has been stated already, with Crucian to guide you, you can't fail. Your choice of whipping colours is spot on. Keep up the good work!

Welcome too. I like the red edge, would blend nicely with the camouflaged cane.

Looking really good

Evening Chaps,

Here's the latest update, I think the photo's should speak for themselves, any comments or advise would be very gratefully received.

The colours should darking down when it's been varnished.

Not looking forward to the intermediate whippings on the tip section.
