Bubbas hot rod blank

here are some pictures of a rod i did for a friend he brought me the blank and it's a model SQX 80 SW 20-60 from Bubba's hot rods blanks it's thin and parabolic it's an 8' footer he wanted me to build him and eagle pattern like a rod i did for my self this blank was kind of tricky to build because of my friends special needs it has a 14 inch rear grip and a 16 forgrip so he can lay it at the rail rod is very parabolic so i had to do the pattern between the stripper and first guide rod it's acid wrapped i used madeira xtra for the buttwrap and red and metallic blue for the guide wraps.

Really excellent workmanship Lupe. The red, white and blue never looked better. Your guide wrap is perfect.
