Well done and good on you restoring something dear to someone.
I am sure the owner loves it -I am just not totally convinced by this section. I think some areas looks like it was dipped in a bucket of Woodoc.
Might be the pic though.

But weel done and I hope the owner is very happy that it will be passed on to another gerneration.

Thanks man!! As for the picture, definitely does not do it justice. I have already given the rod to the owner and could not take more pics. I used Danish oil on the wood.. I'm not entirely happy with the pictures, but cannot take anymore. But I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would certainly not dip a rod into Woodoc! haha

Swamp Donkie, we mean Rabbit, aka Anton, brought the rod to the shop today.

Very Very COOL....

Well Done on the referb, you've given that stick a whole new life...

It's going to be a pleasure to fish it and will be around for a long time.

His son might end up putting it up against the wall, thinking, "the stuff my dad fished with"

Korrie, it is actually amazing if you how far rods have come along. If I look at the butt section of the rod, it is extremely thick compared with the rods nowadays.. Threading the wooden grip and spacer posed a few challenges, but that's what made it interesting. Even the entry level rods these days are a lot thinner at the butt section. Natural progression in technology I guess..

But as you said, his son may put it up and laugh, but at least he'll be able to appreciate what he gets to fish!
