I'm building a 3SW76MLF St Croix for a guy and I guess my imagination doesn't reach far enough to come up with a thread color that will look good on this blank. It's a brown color. He and I talked originally about a Royal blue with some silver trim but now he's thinking that it won't look so good on that blank and I'm not sure it will either. Maybe a darker blue but that particular blue. What have you all that have built on an SC3 blank used in the past that looked good? He wants something that will contrast with the blank rather match up perfectly and not black. I'll use it if I have but I would rather not.

Fish now, cause you'll be dead for a long time.

Gold metallic--several different shades or even a bronze metallic.

Dark Green wraps with Gold Metallic trim bands, Tan inlays on Chestnut guide wraps with Metallic Brown trim bands

i like a red on that color blank, no CP

Bright orange with metallic gold trim looks great on that color blank.

I think a light blue combination would look awesome on brown blank.

I've done a few of those blanks with HT metallic pewter trimmed in gold, a few in red with no cp, left to darken a bit, and a few with black or dark brown wraps.
I personally like the look of the HT metallics on those blanks, copper, green, bronze, or even black will also work, then trimmed in gold, silver, yellow, white, etc. Copper or burgundy with a gold trim band both come out great too.

how about a candy apple red with no CP and a bronze, copper or gold metalic trim.
