You are all in.
I just ordered my kit. I'm going with the A16/black hardware version. My last swap rod was built with black and silver wraps, but I'm going to be a bit bolder on this one. I've found some cobalt metallic thread at the local sewing store. I love the cobalt color, and the metallic version looks like it could be stunning. I have a second blank that I'm going to build for myself, and it will probably have the same color on it.
