so heres it right before i did the color preserver, i am much happier with it than i was before. i did the cp 4 times to really lock it in place. and my friend who is guiding me through it says the next step is going to be cutting and then wrapping up to the cut/putting on the hook saver, and then epoxy. i am close but i am in all honesty TERRIFIED. <a href="; target="_blank"

I have some thread that has been alreadycolor preserved and some that hasn't. So I will have to color preserve. Probably. However I also had that plan to try on my scrap practice pencils. :)

Hi there! I'm building my first rod for my boyfriend for Xmas. I did a gold underwrap throughout and on the first guide did burgundy with metallic accents with gold wheating. Then the rest of the guides just did burgundy with metallic accents. Now I've gotten to the bottom and I started the diamonds which look great from afar and up close but I feel like it doesn't match.
