Reelecstasy, I like your clean even lines,nice work dude. A little criticism 4 u. Imo, I would try to build up your wraps a little more so that you see less under wrap, about 50-50 fills it in nicely. Also, I like either a light or dark under wrap, when you use a color that is neither its harder make your wraps stand out, they kinda clash against each other. Again, awsome work!

No worries about the wrap sliding while you are doing the wrap? I was wondering about that?

Did up a set of diamonds under the collector 50 guide on a 1201M yesterday. Spent 3 freakin hours on it from start to finish between measuring, re-measuring, grabbing a beer, and grabbing another beer. Hoping to get around to finishing the whole rod this week some time. Will put up pics once she is done. Matches the black and silver diamonds I posted earlier.
