This is what's currently on my beautiful IST Crafts spindle (amboyna burr, rim-weighted with brass)... And to be fair it's been there for a while, although I have been working on it every now and then. The main problem is trying to keep it consistent with the first half of the top, which I did when I was less experienced with a drop spindle, so it's a lot thicker. I think at this point I have to admit I've failed to keep consistent, so when I ply I'll be looking to make the most of the contrast!
