Here I have a couple rods I recently built on Chris Barclay's blanks. Both rods are wrapped in silk, color locked then finished in spar.

7'2" 3wt in antique gold, tipped black. Darkened brass reel seat hardware, agate stripping guide.

Beatuiful! The yellow on the root beer is really pretty, and have always loved red and blank variegated.

Thanks everyone! The wood on the 5wt is maple and does have some black fiddle lines in the wood, unfortunately the camera will not pick up the black lines in the wood.

I really love the grip on the 3wt, it's very comfortable.
