I've had Gary make a few for me out of Sage blanks, I'm sure they can do what you need. Top quality work! :tup:

If you want his number let me know.

If you can’t find anyone local to wrap it, I can do it for you. I have a dozen or so under my belt. I’ve gotten away from buying rods, strictly build anything I need now.

That's a very nice offer. I appreciate that.. I have a friend that also needs one wrapped and he's sending his to a guy in Portland. I'm just gonna ship mine along with his. I think Greg has done six or seven for me over the years. He didn't really say why he wasn't doing full builds any longer. Scaling back a little.. :dunno:
