2 x Orvis Superfine Touch 1wts - Part 3

This is the final part of this build.

I decided to take some close ups of the rod tubes.

I am very pleased with the finish on these two tubes. I like the colour and the black endcaps really does compliment this build very well.

Thanks for looking

Old School Rod Tube

I was recently commissioned to do a custom rod tube.
The brief was simple.
A pink tube, with some type of flowers and a purple Beetle.

So after some emails finalizing the artwork and deciding on the pink, we decided to go with the following:

2" Aluminium Tube Painted 1957 Oldsmobile Pink
Beetle, Sage and Flowers graphics done with vinyl
Tube finished off with a matte/satin clear coat
My Signature Series Endcaps Lazer Engraved as per client's specification.

Well this is how it turned out....
