Building rods for friends is cool! As long as I use the colors they like I am pretty much free to do what I want design wise, and I love doing tigers.
This is an unlimited rail rod for my good friend Andy. The gray ends will have saw blade inlays when I am done. I wanted to experiment with the single thread left behind, so I used a light gray poly with no CP hoping it would go somewhat translucent but still reveal a pattern. Which it did.
