Title: "Sheridan's"
Post by: STRIPER LOU on December 14, 2017, 11:55:20 PM
Just finished this Knob up  for Sheridan. I believe its going on a Custom Newell?

Here its pictured on my Cortez plated 99, w/ Tib frame, Adams Star and offset arm jeweled,  Custom flanged Acrylic knob and machine work with all the usual internal upgrades to round this JM out!

When the strainer/perf material first came in from my supplier I was not all that impressed. It actually sat around for a few months and I decided to finish a few and post them here for comments.
I was quite surprised to see most people really liked it and only a few didn't.

As I completed 13 pcs it was really starting to grow on me. Every piece was sold out locally in 2 days. With the improved polishing technique, the depth of color is simply amazing!

I'm working on a couple of purple perfs for myself in between orders and am hoping the new red shows up soon, ...  Its a real looker.

Thinkin Swami is gonna be liken this one! ;D :o

All have a great evening,  ..  Lou

Lou,
Wow, how could anyone not like that knob!!! Not showing it to my wife just yet tho😀😀😀...her favorite color is orange, and she'd have to have one now!!!! Then of course I'd have to build her a reel around it, although I already have some of Ted's orange bars, and Alan's orange offset handle to go with it...doh!! Maybe I can keep her from seeing it til " my" next build is done...lol!!
Great work!!
Brett
