Edgar Sealey medium ledger refurb.
My latest refurb project is an Edgar Sealey medium ledger which came to me with its original bag and in poor cosmetic condition, It had been refurbished sometime previously although not very well and had two different whipping colours so a full strip was in order. I couldn't find a thread colour to match the original so chose a near alternative. This is the first Medium ledger I have come across and its a super little rod. I fitted a threaded tip ring so I can try swing tipping as I have never tried the method before.
The cane on this rod is as good as any I've worked on before, it has good quality ferrules and looks to have been a very well built rod in its day. Should be good for another fifty years now!

That Jeremy is a very nice looking rod - great job indeed

It is Andy, but it's clearly faulty as I blanked

Nice job well done
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Edgar Sealey medium ledger refurb.
Edgar Sealey made the Light, Medium and Heavy Ledger. The Light being the rarer of the three...
