Hi Al,
I don't usually care for a full wrap such as yours but the layout and colors on yours is just outstanding. Excellent Job. About how long does it take to do a wrap like that.

Doc, I'm about 2 hours north of Peoria. Milt, with packing,tweaking, distractions, and lack of experience, I guess there's probably about 4 hours. Hopefully I'll get quicker as time goes on. This was my first attempt at this pattern. Takes a little brain work and Lord knows,, I have a little brain.

Al, there might be a few people that would like to see this in person in Charlotte..bring it along.
Four hours on a quality wrap like this is NOT slow.

That is excellent. Great use of colors. 4 hours for that wrap is very fast..... that would have taken me much longer.

Good job. I like the switch of colors on the frame. Al, you can bring all these wraps down to Charlotte, we will have enough room to display them. Sweet.

Thanks again guys for the kind words. Trying to quantify the time on something done in spurts over a couple of days is hard. I'm sure I'm wrong.

Al your work constantly astonishes me. You really do have a "talent" for this type of threadwork. I'd love to see your rods along with the rest of the NERBS but Charlotte is a little to far. x 5.
