So finally got this tube together.

Black and orange theme inspired from the old videogame Ataris logotype with an added thingy on the cap. Just wanted a design with clean lines, center one is extrovert and the sides are introvert beveling.

The cap is built around the vinyl liner (I'd rather call it innertube, but it's a liner in the cap) to act as a friction lock and a simple cord on the back. It won't come off in normal use since the vinyl is lots of friction.

Basic idea with a friction lock is to rid those sometimes bold looking topstrap and buckles that can really mess up a neat design.

It houses a 3 split 10 ft rod.

Very very nice Tom! the handle looks like the braid that I learned from Rene Berends of Germany. I have some bracelets and hair barrette done that way. You should do a tutorial on how you did the tube! I would like to do one to carry my large patterns in when I work on large projects away from home.

Very classy looking job, Tom!

Braided handle is a knockout, and the lettering looks well executed. I like the linework with the texture.

Makes me want to tie up some flies...now where are those turkey feathers?

Awesome looking case Tom, I also really like the handle, and the carved name is such a nice touch. Can we see the way you did the seam on the backside of the tube....please.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you Anne!

I've seen Rene's work online, a very talented man.

The handle braid is mexican basketwave/roundbraid on edges and center is a variation that ShirleyZ posted a while ago.

Thanks Alex!

I really put alot of effort into those letter since it's so hard on such a big leather.

You're excused for going fishin over beating the 'ol dead cow;-)

Tom, you did it again! The two things that impress me most about this case are

the way you did the name and that fabulous handle. Mind if I borrow your handle

design? I have a project in mind that it would set off.

Really a fine piece of work, Tom!!!
