I have a question about some of the thread art? It looks like they are on a four inch blank?I was wondering if that is for show or does that slide on the rod some how?I love the work I am just curious.

Sometimes builders will make thread wraps on short, scrap sections of rod blanks for demonstration or sample purposes.

Whenever i make a new weave pattern on graph paper, i always make up a sample weave of it on scrap piece of rod. I find it can help sometimes to get a customer wanting the design put on their rod. When they ask for a specific fish weave for instance and i show them just the enlarged pattern on the graph paper, i find that most can't appreciate what the design will look like on their rods. When i show them the sample of it, they can see exactly what they will be getting - the actual size and thread colours.

ditto what steve said for the marbling,even tho no two marbles are alike at least the customer can see how the colors interact and how they will look with thier reel
