Here's a picture of the glass rod I'm working on. The black and white sticker was well knicked up so I used a Sharpie to cover some of the knicks/scratches, covered the rod with 2 coats, and then wrapped with thread to match. Still have to wrap the guides and ferrules. Note I finally got the wrapper rigged so that I don't have to use the tea cup and phone books!!! Couldn't get the little guy away from the camera.
