We all know of them.
Most of us like them.
The are easy as sin is to commit.
Here are a few that are not too bad, considering that Capt. G did them.

Peach out.

I beleive that is more than just a plain CKW. At least mine don't look like that. Looks like a couple of them have some pigments in them. Keep up the good (and innovative) work.

Contrary to popular beliefs, I don't make anything worthy of being classified.

The first two, on the left, are base layers of size A thread, three different colors.  I like to contrast bright metallics, with black, but colors are up to my clients.
These I wrap from left to right, loosely, and burnish heavily.
Then I coat with epoxy, and as it is going off, I wind, from right to left (opposite direction) clear mono.  I usually do a test before the epoxy, to see which mono pound test works the best.
The far left is #70, and the next one is #90 clear mono.
I never coat or cover the mono--it will last as long, or longer than guide wraps.

The one on the right is a simple CKW on the bottom, plus I added some Asahi Paint company glow in the dark paint (green), plus some black Japanese calligraphy ink (black) for contrast.

Hope that helps.

Funny that you mention that site, because I got an message sent to my corporate email account stating that when they figured out which alias I was posting under, I would be banned for life.
I thought that kind of strange, since I have never even bothered to look at that web site, let alone become a member.
I would rather watch paint dry...

Hey, was it not William "Wild Bill" Colby that invented both the Kruggerand Coin, and Cafe Latte?
