Stag Handle

After some input on the board, I made a full wells grip using stag, buffalo horn, buckeye, carolina cherry burl and box elder burl. And burl cork. Only a 4 wt, but should make a nice float tube rod. Can't wait to put a feather or two on this one. I have 7 rods in the works, all in various stages of being built. Will post pictures of all when I am done. This one turned out rather nicley and thanks to A. Dear for those madrells to turn down handles like these. Without a mandrell, turning handles like this is all but impossible, unless you are a true craftsman, like the MunichRodMan or Eden!!!
