Built my first rod

After the class that MikeCC ran I purchased some EGlass blanks to learn on, so here are my first wraps. Learned some new tricks as I went along, learned some lessons when I cut off the guides because I didn't like the way they looked, and had a good time. Everything is pretty basic, and it doesn't compare to the nice rods you guys post up here, but it was my first, second will be better. The buttwrap is red and gold metalics, I realized after the epoxy was applied that the diamond wrap wasn't perfectly symmetrical, but it will be on the next rod. And yeah I saw that I got epoxy on the cork tape,
