A few restoration projects

Here are 3 of my latest restorations, 2 trulines (D-8 and a 4X) and an old Roddy 9ft spinning rod I converted to a jigstick. All 3 of these sticks I got at garage sales and were in pretty bad shape

The book (Turkshead cookbook) is the bomb, The jig that came with it was too small, But the right idea, I made my own larger one out of a 1 1/2 in Coriun dowel and cribbage pegs
