I recently finished my Meiser 15' 7/8/9 HC build just in time for my trip up northern BC. It turned out much better than expected! I really enjoyed the whole process from start to finish. I bought the blank and the builders kit from Bob and turned the handle myself on a drill mounted in a vise. I've since added some oil to the burl portions of the handle to darken it up a bit. I've also got a 13' 6/7 MKS to build now as well!
I don't think I've ever jumped up from my tying chair for a fly fishing hookset. I've never wept watching a fly fishing video either. Wow. We have some Pro Staff already, folks! Just perfect.

Reminds me of taking my boys down the crow years ago. They are 18 and 21 and made me proud often. The best is when Santa delivered some Cabelas boot foot waders so they could join dad in the flow. Awesome!!!! Now if I can get them on the oars more so dad can fish from the drifter.
thanks for sharing
