W&M Aristocrat 8642 extra tip?

[nuchamps5]

Does anybody know if there are builders out there (on here?) who would build a second tip for a W&M Aristocrat 8642? I picked one up with a single tip on a really good deal and plan to fish the heck out of it, but I wouldn't mind having a second tip built if possible.

I know these aren't the most expensive rods, so if the answer is "it's not worth the cost, just fish it hard with the single tip" that totally fine too. Thanks!

Dennis Stone at the Stone Family Rod Co. and he's fast.

Dennis is retiring in 3 months, so reach out to him quickly!

Scott Whitman would be another alternative, depending on his work load.

Thanks for bringing this up- I also have an 8642 Aristocrat with one tip down a couple of inches that I got for cheap and wouldn't mind having it complete.
I would have had it scarfed already, but shipping it south of the 49th and back doesn't make economic sense. If anybody knows of a Canadian who does scarfing and ammoniating, I'm all ears!

Scott Whitman does great work, he made tip for my 7633 that is a great match for the original. Fair price and timely.

The difficult part I believe is finding an original ferrule when you don't have one. Michael Sinclair told me several years ago how scarce they were.

I won't advertise his name, but if you put a WTB in the classifieds section, there is a certain member that seems to have an abundance of Granger ferrules.
