Just finished up a rod for one of our members here,with the wraps being dark green and maroon ticking. Didn't use CP, so the colors went real deep (not dark, deep ... looks like jewels). Another one I did, for me, was finished off in a gunmetal gray ... really beautiful! You needn't stick with the colors they sent, if you feel moved to experiment.

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
