Ron, those are pretty cool and wild looking! Since I haven't used a wood handled fly rod yet - I can't say whether I'd like the feel or not. I'll get lots of opportunity though. Have about 20+ rods to restore. Maybe a wood handle will make its way on one or two.

No they are not. Let me say this, none of the bark I harvested looked as nice as these. Mine are riddled with beattle tracks and the thickest is 4" or so.@rhossack are your blanks stabilized?

It's ok Mikey, we understand, really we do !
Got mine Saturday. The duck calls will go to my stepson after they're stabilized. When I told him he said "Cool - a duck call that's all live edge."
I wonder if any of them have sufficient void to try casting one after stabilizing. If there'd be enough color to make it worthwhile. Or maybe I should cast it in clear just in case there are sufficient voids to make it non-useful for a call.
Since my Scottish roots show from time to time and I hate throwing any wood project that has gone astray.Here is a hair brained idea, weigh them down in a pot of thin CA and let them soak for a day or so, might not be cost worthy though.
