NERBs' Pens and a Project

I got the NERBs' members who'll be at Charlotte some customized ink pens done up.

The reel seat was a practice run for the "Kustom for Kids" rod that Stan Grace, Ron Walter and I will be finishing up on in March sometime. The 'un'completed rod will be at the Charlotte show (needs marbling and guides wrapped yet). We haven't decided yet to do the reel seat...

Plans are to raffle it off as a fund raiser for a great kid's mentor who guides kids through rod building...
