The detail is what really sets it apart, like all works of art. That will set the standard for along time. It's funny though, when I show people who don't build rods, they don't really appreciate it.

Bill batson has a rod similar to that I had the chance to see the other day. Mind boggling how anybody can put that much detail in a wrap.

Bux,
Not quite yet, but I am practicing. 
I think he had 90 hours in the dragon weave, let's see.... that would cost a lot
I have done the jumping steelhead weave, several name weaves, etc, but..........
Boondog, that is a Mark Crouse creation is it not? He is very talented.
