The next series of photos shows the progression of this simple but eye-catching design. The design was done by wrapping a single thread of black up the blank (toward the tip) on both axes and a single thread of red from the tip toward the butt section. To make the design more appealing, I enhanced the pattern by adding one extra thread (red) going down the blank on each successive turn (one black up and two red down, followed by one black up and three red down). Additional accent thread in gold was added to match both the gold reel seat hoods and the gold guides on this rod. The progression of the pattern is shown in the series of photographs at left (click on each thumbnail for the full-size 640x480 photo). |
