A recent build I finished up. This one seemed to work out well. A custom order for a Trout Smith's S glass 7ft 3wt but the customer wanted blue wraps. At first I did not think it would be a good idea, but at the same time I happen to have a few tubes that John Nobel was painting for me. John sent along a few photos, and I saw the blue in the brookie tube and thought... this might work. Anyway I think it's pretty close, the rod was finished before the tube arrived and I am happy with the results on both.

What fun. It's whimsical. It should make the owner smile each time they pick it up.

Thanks guys. Yes I think I got lucky the colors go well together... maybe not perfect but close. And John does an amazing job with these tubes.
