Hello builders O' rods.
Does anyone out there have a source for those nice looking burned corks and other fancy bits for handles.
I think I would like to build a pretty handle on the little stick.
Something a'la Meiser would be nice.

I bought some extra select cork from this guy on ebay. It was pretty decent and required little to no filling.

I really want some burl or burnt cork for the little 6 wght spey.
Still no luck.
Hook a brother up!

I've been putting maple burl, curly maple, fiddleback, etc handles on my rods and they're fantastic. Need a lathe to make your own but if you don't have one try Benshona Rods (www.benshona.com). Or, wait until winter when I might have some spare time . . . .

pics?

Nice Sparky.
Do you have any pics to show us?
I would love to see what others are doing to pimp out there sticks.
Right now I am trying to find some nice feathers for inlays.
There are so many nice ones out there.
Just have to keep trying combos until I get one that looks just right for me.
I just might have to take you up on waiting for rings. Or I could finish this one and do another.
