New rod pics, second try to post

[rodblder]

Several new rods I just finished for myself(blue760H) and son( purple765H) Split diamonds done with gudebrod 00 nylon black and FishHawk silver A metallic, weaves done in HT A metallic-two very time consuming rods to build







I forgot to mention, the split diamonds wraps are under all the guides, it gets tricky towards the tip. The purple rod has the cold shrink on the upper grip, haven't put it on mine yet but will, great stuff for the rail.

simply amazing, awesome work.

Your work really is beautiful Jim. The cold shrink...two questions:

1. Where do you get it and what dimension did you use

2. How did you get the trim to shrink down so evenly - trick of the trade?

Beautiful work Jim..."time consuming" is the understatement of the year...I don't even have the patience to do a fancy butt wrap anymore!

Jeff:
The shrink I got from a buddy who got it from McMasters Carr, commercial elect supply houses sell it for sealing underground elect connections. it's about 2.5" inside diameter,
Not sure what you are referring to on the trim to shrink down-clarification?

email me any with any questions you might have

As usual, your work, or should I say 'art' is outstanding!

Thanks for sharing,
