Looks good and your way ahead of schedule on the winter projects. I have a few rods in the corner of the basement ready to be rebuilt over the winter, and a few more that need minor work. Just need time...any day now... aaaany day... Its on the long list of things to do.
Good Luck with your project,you are off to a great start.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. First rebuild so far but we have a few more that need work. The wife is already asking for her own rod.

I'm taking my time doing this rod,trying to cover a lot of sins.

Here are some before and after coating pictures I took yesterday. these are of the top half of an older two piece I still have to redo the base of the rod. Was hard to get a clear picture with the lighting in the room were I was working.

Today was a good day for working on the butt end section of the rod I have been repairing. I have filled in all of the voids and pits in the cork and sanded the handle and fore grip into a smooth finish just have to seal the cork with cork sealer and the rod is done. Next project is a older bait casting rod and then a older Boat Rod or Jigging Rod,then hopefully I can start on my wife's PINK ;D ::)bait casting rod. It's going to be a busy winter.
