Thanks for the encouragement. I feel pretty confident that after a few screw ups, I'll figure out how to do it right. :biggrin
Just pull tight!
Updates?
Currently fishing @ Greeson. Maybe tonight I'll get back after it.
This wrap looks a lot better than my first attempt. Only 5 more guides to wrap.

Looks good. I have built several rods in the past and they are a lot of fun to do.
Looks like your gettin there !!! Nice
Dang thats pretty. Is there a varnish or something that goes over the wrap now?I know all the store bought rods have some kind of lacquer or varnish on them, never looked at a hand built or custom rod, and never built a rod.
Yes, a rod finish is applied over the thread. I've only been getting a few minutes here & there to work on it. I'm making it look much more difficult than it is. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to put the finish & tip top on tomorrow.Quote:
