G-Urushi with a "Twist"

[JTrelikes]

Well..........like I said in my last post, been playing around with variations with Cap'n G's beautiful Urushi art. This one I guess you could say is another "bowl of soup" idea,

Urushi between some candy stripe thread that has som olive branching in it, separated by a bit of marbling to offset what I wanted to do under the guides......

turned out cool, the urushi is quite pleasant.

I just cant comprehend anyone having the advanced thought processes and ideas that you do. and then the ability to put them all together and create a rod like that.
That rod is plain ass awesome.

Slowly but surely. I am working on another personal rod. an 8'6" Loomis blank that I will be using for so cal surf fishing. By no means comparable to what I see on this board,but I am still making progress. Will post up a photo when done.

Superb Jim, you must have come close to running out of room to fit all that in.

I'll be looking forward to seeing that one!

...........sorry Randy, didn't save as much space that time. To be honest, in both cases the photo inlays were after thoughts since these were both going up for grabs down at LB&T. So I got a chance to just do the improv thing.

But you're right........I like the mermaid too! Much more attractive than a fisheye.

Dam that's beautiful! It looks like you got that g urushi technique down really good!

Thanks Jimmy..........but I'm sure traditionals would say I'm not using enough black to really call it true "Urushi". Maybe Cap'n G will chime in and tell us. Whatever it is I'm doing here.........was definitely his inspiration. Brent's stuff played a huge factor as well.
