That was just the collector guide. The remaining guides were black with silver trim and inlay.

Tlap,

I think I got wood now, sweet..........tell me about doing that wispy marbleing under the diamond wrap.

And as others have asked, did you do that on all the wraps. If so you spent allot of time on that rod I take it.
