Wrapped this on the quick, 2 threads at a time & 4, 6, and 8 in the back. Started this as a demo at a NERBs gathering, finished it the next day, total time about 2 hours on a 13mm blank.

Thanks I didn't mean it like that, I don't wanna come off the wrong way. You just have a like sixth sense you know just what to put on a rod. I stare at the thread box longer than I wrap. Us newbies are good because of the help of you guys. At least my clothes match when I get dressed. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Don't think I it down and magically figure out what to do. I often spend more time deciding what pattern, what colors, than actually wrapping.

I can guarantee you not too many weaves can go that fast and look that good. Great job Billy, sure wish I could make some of your get togethers but the traffic from here to there is brutal. Steve, your comments about just knowing what to put on a rod, I think that is why we call it art and by the way it is never really wrong.
