Love the Pinwheel wrap (10 repeats - WOW!!). Weeeee!!! Like being at Great Adventure, lol. You also shaded the guide wraps, right? Looks really, really good!!

I'll request you let me know if you ever swing by Battery Park during the work week as I work 2 blocks from there.

Billy, I shaded EVERYTHING!!
I also put down every third thread in a metallic, next to it's same colour ncp-
giving it a sort of brushed aluminum look in person.

Seperating with metallic is a really neat trick. I've done this on a couple of wraps - it gives that hint of flash, without overdoing it. I'd really like to see this one in person, as knowing you stuck metallic threads in there I know it looks a lot different than in the pics. Regardless, this is a great rod from butt to tip.
