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.

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.

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.

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

Nice work.
