Another taper - (Reed Curry)rcurry


The following is taken from a rob a-building for John Friedman, list-member. 
I did not build this from the culm (alas, I would be most proud if I had); 
rather the tips came from one contemporary rodmaker (Ron Mckinley) and the 
butt is a 1958 run from Sam Carlson, when he was still looking at 6-sided. I 
have intentionally made the length 8'2" in order to get the Garrison style 
grip up onto the swelled butt and still have the nice match at the ferrules.
