Finishing touch

I thought the hardest part was the construction of the bamboo blank... but little does I know, I am still cracking my head over what and how to wrap it up...

So many choice... but only 1 set of blank.


Perhaps a Struble D2 downlocking reel seat ..... simple.

Or something unique .. cork insert with sliding band. Stainless steel rings or bamboo rings?

What sort of wrapping thread color to match the hardwares... ?
Earthy color or striking color......?

Well, let's just see how things goes..............
