My father-in-law is huge into fly fishing and tying. He also will make his own rods ect ect...
Anyway he brought over a fiddle back maple reel seat and wanted to know if we could make it out of amboyna.
This is what the item is:
We accepted the challenge...
We made our own bushings out of the white cutting board polyethelyne stuff. Not too bad for not having a clue....
Now I wonder how it will hold up. Put a CA finish on it. Wonder if anyone has any experience with reel seats???
