The shading is very cool. All done with size A thread, the smallest I know of. Second pic is a double pattern, very tough to keep aligned.

This thread I posted was actually an attempt show craftmanship quality. The pics are statements made about craftmanship quality differences between different countries products. In my pics I show a number of rod builds from US builders and Japanese builders. I'd be interested in someone picking out the difference. There are a number of small businesses in this country that sell custom built quality products. To say that some country's products are superior craftmanship to these business without any objective proof is unacceptable to me and I feel that I need to speak to this in an effort of fairness. My opinion and not ment to personally offend anyone.
