I love the way that turned out. It looks great. As an avid flyfisherman, I could see that making a beautiful rod case.

A rod case would be amazing. I use an old aluminium one t osafely store all my thinner carbon strips, rods and tubes, and a bundle of piano wire in different gauges for spring making. My carbon supplier does big-bore tubes up to 2000mm (call it 80") long.

All the IRL feedback so far has been variations on the theme of 'Ooh! Pretty!'.  Except for a pal who shoots English longbow responded to my arrow case suggestion with one of his own that I decline to try, on the advice of my proctologist. Apparently, traditional archers prefer traditional materials.  Got to say, the fly fishing community might be of a similar opinion. 

I've decided I need another, smaller version for just one small kite. A case that will fit in my suitcase for travelling with. This time, I've ordered some tube in that marbled carbon that's become popular. I think the matt marbled tube and black bridle hide combination will be good. I'll show you guys when it's done.

Thanks for all the feedback and support, guys.
