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.
