Starting to wrap the 10ft rod

Here are a few shoots of the starter wraps for the 10ft Yellow Glass rod. It's hard to see the antique gold trim wraps, because the yellow silk is so bright... but the gold trim is there. I choose to add the trim after the double wrap on the ferrules, to make the ferrule wraps look a bit shorter after varnished (I extend the ferrule wrap to the end of the male ferrule, simply for security. But the long wrap does not look as appealing to me). More to come soon. And more photos on facebook.
