My camera battery died, so more pictures will be on the way in about an hour... these are what I got before it went.

It is finished with five coats of watco oil, and will have a few coats of marine spar varnish (UV protectant) on top of that after 72 hrs of drying. I am still in the process of making (maybe buying?) a reel, and I have a rubber pad for the butt piece that will go on after the varnish.

Seeing as it is not quite finished, any suggestions for tweaks/fixes etc. are welcome, but make them quick because it will be finished by the end of the week to be ready for a possible trip to the FL keys the first week in April. (Any good spots to break this baby in down there let me know...)
