Great work Lee, it looks the business. Nice butt, not in a Mardis-Gras way. Nice epoxy work as well, good job all round I reckon.
Did you get the bits from Mudhole? There's a lot of people talk-up those GUSA blanks and I reckon that'll have to be my next one after the next one. Did you end up making a dryer?

Hope you don't mind me pointing brother Radar to the rod-build Wiki to give him a few starters -
