Great build, Steve!! I have a question for you. On the wrappings for the stripping guide ... have you done an under wrap of green, placed the guide, and then wrapped the variegated? Maybe it's just the way the light reflected in the finish. Also, it looks like you took a couple wraps behind the "leg" of the guide, and finished the wrap in a conventional way. Is that so? Could you do a quick walk through of that technique? I've wrapped a number of rods, but am pretty basic in my moves. I'd sure like to add some "spice" to my repertoire! Thank you!

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.
