| GF900M - Camo tiger wrap
This is a rewrap I've been working on for quite some time. I've stripped the butt section probably 6 times and this is the best Camo combo I've come up with so far. I'm not done with the other guide wraps yet, so this is it for now. Colors are: all gudebrod. Base - nylon black A, nylon sandstone A with color preserver. Top - NCP olive A with no CP and size A sacraficial. Inlays are metallic pewter. I ended up using a pilot sliver marker with extra fine point for the signature - not the best, but I'm not proficient enough with the caligraphers pen yet. I wrapped the stripper guide with a single wrap of C - I can see a bit of the olive showing through, so will probably use 2 wraps of A on the rest of the guides.
