Here is the Donation rod for the upcoming clave. Mike donated a 8' 6wt blank and I completed the build.
The insert is from an olive burl cutting board I got from tjmax.

Beautiful rod by great duo! That taper is intriguing as streamer rod for warm and cold water application. Absolutely love that reel seat. Safe travel gents to the clave.

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the rod in person. I like the build a lot--especially that olive wood insert. I caught your post about the TJ Maxx find, and it's great to see how that worked out.
