Thanks for the love, guys!  I could build you one, but I must warn you that it wouldn't be cheap - I spent seven months on the handle.

I've been thinkin about this rod alot lately, had to take a look again. Damn.

Thanks for the compliments, guys.  David, there's no cork in this particular handle - the wood on the ends of the main part of the grip is black-dyed box elder burl with spalted big leaf maple for trim rings, and the fighting butt is the spalted maple.  The reel seat insert is the black-dyed box elder burl, and the center portion of the main grip (most of the main grip) is birch bark.
