Pouncing of staple rabbit is a challenge, here is a close up of Tim's attention to pouncing (note this was taken with my cell phone so color is not accurate)

Tim has done some work on learning to overcome the challenges pouncing staple rabbit and to make it the closest to the feel of vintage felt.

I'm very glad to have exceeded your expectations on the build, Vic.

And I thank you very much for investing in me; seeing my artistry and helping me grow. Please don't mind my saying so, but that act of kindness, well, it deserves a honorable mention. You helped me, and with out ANY expectations. Thank you.

You are a good man, and I will always remember your good deed, and generosity.

The first 3 photos are off my phone.
I'd like to credit my friend Kurt @bolthead for his time. The last 2 photos, are provided by Kurt. He makes time, to help a friend grow a portfolio.

Have a good day all. Thanks for the likes in the thread and the support you ALL, show in your responses on my work.

Lord knows, I do try my best to keep to the vintage roots and feel in the builds. It's something I always paid attention to, in the things I do or did.

Split Bamboo fly rods
Automobile restoration
Motorcycle restoration

Always, very perticular in the workmanship.

Thanks Cindy!
