No More Black Blanks

No more black blacks. Period.
I realize I sound like a bit of a dictator when I say this, overly controlling, maybe even a little "witchy." But, you have not lived my life these past few months.


Jacob recently purchased a McFarland blank to finish out. It's black. We spent weeks going back and forth over color combination, reel seat, hardware, and don't even get me started on trying to make the right bag for it. For some reason, neither of us could quite settle on exactly what this thing should look like while trying to maintain Jacob's style.


As with most things it all works out in the end. I snuck down to the workshop to get a few shots of the "almost" finished product yesterday.
This piece will be hitting the Rod Shop soon!
