metallic weave with rod info decal

This is my first attempt at any sort of weave. I used dark and light blue metallics against a black rod finish with thin gold accents. I used D sized thread to decrease weave wrap time....I'll Never do that again. The bumps in the thread overlap locations is to high and hard to even out when epoxy goes on. I tried some A size metallics on an old rod and like the even finish much better
