First Tiger Wrap for a customer

First of all got to give thanks to Doc Ski and Scott Throop. Doc for putting out the tiger wrap tutorial that I read and gave to Mary, which was used to help do some samples on an old broken rod. Then to Scott for talking to Mary for a long time on the phone giving her some tips on the tiger wrap(nothing like talking to the inventor), and for putting up with me talking to him in his shop for an hour about this and that.
This is our first tiger wrap on a customers rod. Our rods are usually a little more involved on the decorative wraps. Phishy wanted black wraps, black and silver tiger wrap, Fuji turbo guides, non-skid handle over cork, on a Calstar 196-8 blank, with the whiteseabass sticker. I like the way it came out. Thanks again Scott and Doc for your sharing of info.
John
