Sounds like it's too late!

Would like to see the pic, Nate - the link isn't working?

Here's my attempt. This is simply a circle extruded on a wiggle and shrunk at the end. The pattern is assigned as a multichannel colour jpg and bump to the first 8 segments of the whip. The rest is just repeated, because as it takes time to assign loads of shading domains, I didn't bother ;)

This is where a displacement by shading domain would be really useful in C6. I bet Eric Winemiller's got something on his workshop shelf that would fit the bill...

Forgot to say - the nibbles in the pattern are down to shoddy artwork.
