With respect to the build, I had this parts for too many years, but what my notes do say …

* Struble Reel Seat, wood unknown
*Cork was turned on the blank – I do not like thin handles.
* ThreadMaster Lite Epoxy
* Dale Rowney Acrylic Ink
* Thread, Size A
.. * Primary: Gudebrod Sunburst Nylon
.. * First Accent (Orange): Fuji 15
.. * Red Accent: Fuji NOCP 20
* Struble Nickel Silver Check
* Joe Arguello Agate Guide
* Snake rand Guides and Tip Top

Most of the pictures are using some backlight, to bring out the translucent nature of the rod.
