The rod will be on display in Charlotte, I'm not promising grips & guides, but the wrap will be on a rod....I might even add epoxy.

Raymond...I can't, my forefinger is stuck inside a crosswrap, can't reach a razor blade...I see a blade at the far end of the bench, with the Global Rod in my right hand I'm going to try to reach the blade with the tip and slide it towards me (SMASH!!) %$#&guide wrapped wine glass in the way!!...call 911.

lol. Sounds like you need Vicodin, lol!!!! Mike got the Cliff notes for this pattern this morning, I'd love to re-wrap it on another rod but don't have time. Maybe I should have used 60 wt.

I had to "blow it up" a little so my tired old eyes could see it properly but I'm glad I did. Another awesome wrap Billy.

Sam, I didn't time this one as I brought my lathe up into my Living room so I could watch American Idol while wrapping, lol. 2 nights, probably 4-5 hours, with another hour to go.
