The green/yellow works for me, the green has darkened a treat

Green and yellow do look really great indeed.

Evening Chaps,
Just a quick update, progress is a bit slow but there's a new dog in the house so the rods been on the back burner. However, that being said, I have done some work this evening, the brass fittings has been cleaned and re-blued, hopefully they meet with your approval.
If the weathers bad this weekend and my good lady is busy with the Christmas prep then hopefully I will be able to crack on with the rod.

A very warm welcome to the forum JT. That is a lovely start on what will, I am sure, become a beautiful refurb. As has been stated already, with Crucian to guide you, you can't fail. Your choice of whipping colours is spot on. Keep up the good work!

Welcome too. I like the red edge, would blend nicely with the camouflaged cane.
