Dave Lewis built
beautiful fly rods. In general he built on commercially available blanks, but the ones he picked to work on made up into great rods. His epoxy work was gorgeous, until he developed an allergy to epoxy resins. Then he moved to spar varnish finishes, which if anything were even prettier.
His wife maintains his website with photos of his work over the years. You can find it at
