He talks about it some in his Terrestrials book, and the book even has a picture of it, but did not include any particulars on the pattern. >From the picture, it looks like he used an epoxy coated body. I'm not sure, though, what the epoxy is coating (other than the kreinik fluorescent braid at the butt.) Thanks if you're able to shed any light on this. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
