Bamboo blank for my offset grip handle

Nope, my MHX IM6 8~14lb is not completed yet. Still pending epoxy.. It's still missing the top guide. I thought I have one somewhere in my drawer but I could find it. I guess I have to order another one and put that rod a side for time being..

Picking it up from where I left off... my offset grip handle. I received my bamboo blank a few day back.
Reaming the cork grip handle to fit the blank.

The reel seat for this casting rod is pending stock from Matagi. They told me that the reel seat will be only available in Febuary and it will be a long wait before I could proceed further..
