Weekend finish up for rod building class-reel seat and real smile!
John Rivera finished up his rod making class this weekend and ended up with a beautiful 8 foot bamboo fly rod. He had the time to build a second tip, ferrule it and dip it one time. John chose variegated thread for the nickel silver ferrules as well as the signature wraps. Old-school B and C pale green silk thread was used for the guide wraps. All in all, a great week for both builder and instructor.
