I have my grand dads old bamboo rod he got after world war 2 along with his martin fly reel and all his flies,and old plugs and a bunch of other things and I plan on doing a picture box,probably felt or velvet for the background,as well as some lighting for it. I believe I will make the frame out of walnut . It may cost me some bucks but it's something I have been planning on doing this winter. So maybe that's an avenue for you to take.
