Very respectful tribute to those who lost their lives that day.
Your skills have really improved since you first started. A lot of guys wouldn't want to jump in to that level, that fast, but not you.

Thanks for sharing, bro. When finished, that rod should bring a feeling of pride to whoever is lucky enough to throw it.

Thank you Rich. At my old (er) age I want to take this as far as I can and I don't have time to play around. I would also be very remiss if I did not mention my mentor Gunny. Without his knowledge and friendship I would be nowhere with this. He has taught me quite a bit and I just try to take it all in. His knowledge and skills are amazing.

I've got a feeling this rod has got some very good "mojo".

I appreciate the kind words everyone. I've got a couple of simpler builds coming up and will share pics of those as well. But this one will always be very special to me
