The Beaver and the Duck

[ryan808]

Since the bass fishing is pretty much turned off, I figured I post another project. I got asked to build a pair of spinning rods; OSU :dance: and a UofO :tongue:. Ill keeps the posts up as the build goes along.

I had to start with the beaver rod first :dance:.Got the guides wrapped and ready to epoxy. I went with a simple trim, nothing fancy.

 

[TTFishon]

Lookin good!

 

[ryan808]

Got both rods build up and ready for the decals. I finally figured out the new imaging software I got and started messing around with some decals. I printed these of some water slide decals.

Anyone have an idea on font types used for each school?

 

[tomriker]

[hawgcaller]

By the way, what are the details on your rods(i.e. blanks, guides, grips.) I need to buy a few rods, send me a pm if you are interested in a new projects. Thanks.

 

[ryan808]

Lol, I made sure the beaver rod got more attention.

Finally got the chance to finish the rods and take some pics before they get sent off. I was thinking minimal, but I think I went over board with the decal.

 

[TTFishon]

Overboard? Not a chance. I've gotta believe that anyone asking for either of these rods...that's exactly what they want

Nice work.
