I do like their blanks. I also still need to finish a flyrod (but my saltwater fly days are likely over unless I learn to cast lefty).

I will work on the ramp today. I will just use some D thread and then apply finish for a smooth transition. I will then wrap over and apply finish as needed with the goal of having everything even with the grip. I was just short on the last one but decided to leave it as it was since it looked pretty good. For me, the more that I mess with finish the better the chances of screwing something up.
