This is my first attempt at a cross wrap. It is just a trial one on a piece of 1/2 inch dowel. I reckon it turned out OK. It's a pity I didn't decide to do it on the rod! Sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy, our camera is not real flash for macro shots.

Forgot to add that the rod this will go on is a bit smaller diameter and the area is quite short so I'll probably compress the wrap a little to get more pattern in the short space available. Thanks to all the guys on here who offered advice and help to get me started. Jason

I would have put that on a rod. It hurts to cut it all off.

Nice job Jason. Now go ahead and finish it and save it as a sample you'll be glad you did later on down the road.

Thanks for your comments Guys and your help along the way. I'll do as you said, finish it on the dowel and keep it. I hope these things get faster with experience, I think it took me about 3 or 4 hours to do this.
