Did you do ALL that work yourself? I assume it's engraving & such? That is very impressive and absolutely stunning. IT's like you "stole" a drawer knob off HEnry VII's bureau, lol.

Billy,


I made everything but the blank and the guides from scratch. I make my living as an engraver and sell the occasional rod or two.

Ray, It's great to see more of your work. I love the engraving. Is this one for yourself? Mark

Somoene just sent a link to your website, VERY IMPRESSIVE. I also now understand what you meant by Internal threading.

This is spectacular work. I would be very interested in seeing other examples of your creations.

Thanks for the kind words guys.


Dave,


You can see more of my rods and my engraving at rcoverengraving.com.


Mark,


I am seriously considering doing more shows and events like the conclave next year. With the engraving school and a serious pile of engraving to get out the door this year is pretty much shot for me.


I am wanting to promote my rod building more and build up that end of the career and I am sure I will have to do more travel to make that happen but I am not sure what venues would be best. I have considered the Safari Int. Show in Reno because that is where the rich and famous in this country go to buy their sporting goods. I am still trying to decide what rod venues to try. My stuff is very high end so I am looking for the high end market.


Ray
