Re: kb's new hobby
Those turned out very nice... I love the color of the red maple, but would prefer it as a spinning rod (just kidding). I for one would like to see the others when their done.

Re: kb's new hobby
They look great. I would like to see the others. Just curious how much more do the rods weigh with the wood VS cork? Thanks Ryan.

Re: kb's new hobby
This may be a dumb question but how did you get the hole all the way through the handle and fore grip? I have a jet lathe more than capable of turning the handles but I am a dummy when it comes to drilling.

Re: kb's new hobby and try to answer?on drilling
kb here with two more rods and wood handles
 made of oak-walnut
 made of cedar-popular
drilling holes if you have a drill press no problem what ever size the rod is i drill in on forgrip---reelseat and lower handle
if not for your mini lathe you can buy a chuck that will fit in the motor end or where the burl end then make a v stand of metal that you can put in the hole that holds your lathe tools and then with the spur end push the wood rod handle into bit i use a spade bit rod blanks are usually 1/2 ' OR 3/8" kb hope that this is clear as mud. if i did not explain it well let me know and ill see if i can draw better that explain kb |
