the Super Saiyajin Rod

steelfish · March 22, 2019, 11:50:06 PM

according to my wife this is one of the most beatiful rods I have made so far, it was made for a kid of a close friend, his son is mega fan of the Dragon Ball cartoon and well I must confes that I also saw that cartoon some years ago (I must've been in my 20's

, so, I was also exited to have this rod request as personal project, of course my friend just told me, just do whatever you want on the rod, the only requirement is that it must be relative to the Dragon Ball cartoon series and have a the main character Goku when it was a kid, my friend didnt know nothing about the cartoon series $:-\$ .
the rod came much better than the original idea I had in my mind, so good that eventho its not my motto but "maybe" I will do an identical rod for myself

.

I dont need to say that the kid (which is 13yo) was totally stocked / exited when he got the rod.

some of you might recognize some of the logos, characters and more figures relatives to the cartoon.

Alex, that is one of the best looking rods I have seen. You have gotten pretty good at rod building. Dominick

Alex: You have come a long very well since you first built the first rod in the wood rod wrapper. You are truly talented, keep up with the rod work.

Alex,

I have seen many custom rods wrapped with a theme, or a story in mind...
Butt, the Cartoon Theme Idea is a work of art with a different twist.
Bravo Amigo ! Most Excellent Work !!!

Alex: Great job ! A work of art I would have to say. I have tried rod buiding in the past ......... I wish I stuck with when I see that kind of skill and results.

Cheers:

Beautiful work, Alex, my Son loves DBZ too!

Alex that rod is very nicely laid out. I'm not much for theme oriented rods. But this one you've done here is extremely nice. Dont believe what youve done here could be improved on... Jeff

There is always room to improve compadre Jeff.

Lately I have made some rods with pretty basic wrap and colors for guys that dont care about looks, nothing wrong with that but they dont worth to be shown until this one.

Thanks again
