I can just imagine the look on those guys faces when they receive those rods.  It's an amazingly nice gesture.  Amazing skills Skip!

Here's my gift to them. California English Walnut - Rough cut boards, planed down, sanded, an edge put on, and 5 coats of oil. Just waiting for the engraving to be completed. It was truly an honor doing this.

Well I got a start on the 4th Rod for these guys.... Its going to be a little more Subtle....
I kinda like going with the POW MIA Theme

If you notice the little bit of thread work above the POW and MIA Words can you guess what it represents?

And again my Video skills suck as much as my Photography skills..
