Default Winston Blanks

Hi All..............I'm thinking of building on a Winston blank. The only blank I've used before was a Sage (successfully I might add) but it was simple because there were little white dots to indicate the spine / spline. Do Winston blanks have the same method of indicating the spine ??

Dutchy is your man, he builds beautiful Winstons, and other rods, he does them in his sleep.
I'll give him a shout.

Steven, fact is i'm one hour ahead down here in FLATVILLE and was just about to do some building.. Only joking my old friend!!

Hi eleven foot 5, winstons doesn't come pre spined no worries though like bamboo allready mentioned its dead easy to do so your self.. If you have any more questions feel free to ask, but as seen on the Winston thread there are some other people on here as well that probably know more then i do..
