Ink you may want to contact your customs. I dont know if you do or do not have anything there yet but there is a chance and I know we have had issues getting your customs to get you stuff on time.

I vote for the reddish smooth leather. The reddish suede would be my second choice.

If it's for me I say the redish smooth!

Update:

New glue up off the form. Need to actually shape, tiller, sand, shoot in, and finish. But floor tiller tills me the poundage should be correct.

Hickory-hickory-ipe tri lam, shedua riser with bocote and cocobolo accent stripes. Pics before it ships.

I will get it done as quickly as a thorough job will allow. I expect no more than two weeks. But it might be as quick as a few days depending on how the weekend goes.

So to my victim, I apologize, but I assure you I will make it worth the wait.  Think I will be sending a little something extra as a kind gesture for being late.

Did some heat straightening on mine yesterday and will put the tips on tonight, while it rehydrates. Will try to get a photo or two up when it is bending a little better.

Nice looking stick Kelly. Cool to see what's being built. Photos have been pretty thin in this thread.
