It's gorgeous Mike, the nicest 349H Neptuna restoration that I have ever seen!
Congratulations on seeing that difficult project through to completion.

Mike,
That's one pretty stick ya got there... you gonna fish that beauty?
You've done a nice job putting her back to original condition and taken the time to get her right where you want her.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor,
Dom
The shine you got on that cradle is incredible, show a few close ups, I'm thinking it looks better than it did new. Nicest one I've seen. Sheridan
I changed out the pictures for better ones. So you have your close up photos. It for show its to rare to fish so it will be hung up for a conversation piece.
Mike

Joe
Wow!

Mike - put simply - just gorgeous - luv it 8)
Randy supplied the rod and I supplied the nos roller guides. Then Sheriden striped and rewraped the blank. He got the colors just just right. I told him no fruity colors.

Good job brother...that's something to be proud of....Bill
NICE!
I bought the cradle because I wasn't sure I would ever find another one good enough to restore. Five months later and hours of hunting for a rod that would keep it as authentic as possible. Its completed and looks beautiful and everything matches. It wasnt cheap but it was worth it.
very very nice ! beautiful!
Bravo!
