I just finished up an older Rainforest IM6 green blank using a very "plain" black wrap with metallic green inlays and trim bands. Did a simple cheveron wrap fading back and forth between the black and metallic green in the split grip section. It does look very nice, in a stealth sort of way, if I do say so myself.

Thanks for all of the help guys. I never would have thought about these different options. Looks like I have a big thread order to make so that I can try out a bunch of these suggestions. Anyone have any idea if any of the vendors sell for really cheap or give away broken or unuseable blanks that I might me able to get my hands on to use for wrap samples? It would be really nice to have a set of samples that I can refer to so that I would know what the threads will look like once they are actually finished.

Burton,

Pick up a piece of 1/2 dowel or PVC pipe and paint it black (sand it first). Either one makes a perfect "practice" rod. for very little cost and NO shipping!
