Olive Branch wrap
Mar 16^th, 2012, 7:36pm

I have seen this wrap on a different forum. Then to make matters worse Longball had to show me one he did. So me being me, I had to try it. This is the first quickie attempt, not so hot but I think it has some potential to be a cool wrap. Who knows once I figure out the technique, it may show up on a rod somewhere about late Sept. Roll Eyes

Ya, pic is the same quality you have come to expect from me.

It isn't too hard after you figure out how the secure the wrap as you do it. After I get her completely figured out, it may become an article for the Rod Building part of the SSFFC Newsletter . Pete
