Craftversa, 12 months, but well worth the wait, i am a lucky Boy

Post by Paul F »

I ordered this from Andrew at the end of last season, and it has arrived before the end of this season,
luckily I have booked next week off work and I am off to Dorset on Friday for a week to hopefully christen it :Wink:

It is one of Andrews Craftversa's built exactly to my specification :Thumb:

I managed to source an original Craftversa chrome butt ring, and agate tip ring, Andrew sourced a set of black high bells intermediate rings which go really well with the black reel bands, and Harry H got me a spool of red/black jasper silk from the USA, the glass like finish to the varnish is amazing

I will let the photo's do their stuff :Wink:

Thanks Andrew you are a master craftsman :Hat:

Another Andrew Davis triumph. You're a fortunate fellow, Sir !
