I built this off a Mike McFarland 7'-6" 3wt 3pc Clear Glass Blank. Customer wanted a "clear" build with Black Nickel components. I've done "clear or invisible" wraps before, but never on clear glass. This one is headed out to Wisconsin's Driftless Area.

I used Mike McCoy's Lemke 640 Up Lock Seat with piece of Buckeye Burl that I turned. Matching Snake Brand Original Guides, wrapped in White Silk.

The visual effect of the guides under those 'invisible' wraps -- simply beautiful. Thanks for showing!

Absolutely beautiful. Such a clean build leaves no tolerance for errors. What a nice job.
