Here's one that a client is getting for his father who has retired out of the navy.  Alps seat, Fuji HBSG guides.

That rod is looking pretty sharp.  Love the crisp colors/lines.  Good work!

Navy blue and gold! Wow, an incredible work of art... and I love the classic (non-acid-spiral) guides. What's your recommended lb-test line?   :)

Another masterpiece Jon. Looks great. I am finishing up my first shark tooth inlay tomorrow on a jet black rod and black wraps and acid wrapped.
