Here are a few pics of the rods I built and am donating to the bbf.net Social.
They're not great pics but the rods look and feel great.

Looking forward to seeing everybody there tomorrow. Maybe Big T will let me win a little something this year.

I built a micro guide rod on a Lamiglas 843 (I think) and am working on a ISP704, Pink Mudhole house blank and a L842 Loomis for my wife.
I hear G. Loomis is going to stop offering custom builder blanks in the very near future. Have you used any of the new St. Croix or Lamiglas blanks yet?
