This is of a question for Ray Jorgesen on rodbuilding.org. I hope Talisman doesn't mind.

I did not build a Waffle House rod on purpose. Really! It was supposed to be the colors of a coral snake.

Can you guess what gave me the inspiration? Coral Snake. I just forget which species...lol Eastern maybe? Red touch yellow, kill a fellow. Red touch black, venom lack.

My photography skills need some improving. Had a black grip and a red grip, both eva. Cut'em up, placed a yellow ring in between and glued'em up. I kinda like it...now the wife wants it.

Alabama State Flag colors in the state silhouette. This rod is an 8' Allstar 20-40lb for whatever will bite!

I made the logo and signature using my ALPS MD1000 printer and Decal Connection waterslide paper.

Don't really know what it looks like but it's different than a butt wrap.

Second trying the marble thing. It seems ok. Was definitely easier than a butt wrap

The blue/yellow/black pieces are 70 degree hardness eva. I glued them up with some red eva and it sanded down fine. This stuff is HARD! I have now idea what hardness the red eva is. I'm guessing around 50-60.

Sweet Home Alabama EVA inlay. Still needs some cleaning up and sanding.
