My first Tiger Wrap

Guam92 · May-23-2009, 05:06 PM

Here is my attempt on building my first rod. I want to thank all the guys from the Orange County Rod Building Classes. This rod still needs about 2 more coats of finish but I love how the Tiger wrap came out.

Looks clean and nicely done

I used a met. red, orange, & black (all size C NCP) for the base wrap. Then size D red garnet on the top wrap.

I have a question though, how many coats of finish do you guys put on your rods?

Here are more pictures of the rod with the outside light and with my Avet SX on it.

P.S. If you guys have any suggestions to make this better, pls let me know. I'll be starting a new one soon. Thanks.

First rod? Damn brother, that looks excellent for a first rod. You did a great job and the guys certainly got you ponited in the right direction. Nice colors too. As a guy told me many years ago on a rod i built, THAT IS REALLY SHARP. One of my buds laughed at that for years.
