Here's the rundown;
1) the tackle box is hard maple with brass hinges 9x8x14" with brass hardware and the interior tray and bottom from Alaskan yellow cedar.
2) the top rod is a 6' light casting rod with a redwood burl spaced with cork and black ebony handle (cork upper), ash lower, Ipe upper rod, wrapped in blue/grey silk with orange bands and 12 coats of varnish, chrome 1930's NIB eyes and real seat. The reel is a 1936 Vintage South Bend 790 Smoothcast Direct Drive Fishing Reel.
3) In progress rod is a 6'5" medium casting rod with a maple burl handle w/gaboon burl cap (cork upper), ash lower, red oak upper rod, wrapped in white/clear silk with purple or red? bands and 12 coats of varnish, chrome 1930's NIB eyes and real seat. I have 5 NIB 1930's reel choices here.
