Divine Rainbow - Complete

The rod is finally dry to the touch!  I had to wait until the rush of final gigs was complete so I could concentrate on finishing this fine old rod.  I've said before I like this color combination and may use it on a South Bend I am currently stripping (not original, but it should look classier).  My current batch of varnish is aging to a nice amber, it darkened the threads a bit more than I wanted, but much livelier than some of the original wraps which looked almost black in the first photos.  Scroll down, take a look.  An honor to work on this one.
