THat's probably one of the BEST photography "panel" shots of any wrap or weave posted. TEhBass looks like it's jumping off the rod, very nice. How long is it on teh rod?

I grabbed my landing net thinking that fish was going to jump down on my lap. That is a very realistic looking weave. Keep up the good work. The trim bands set off the weave very well.

Bill: The wrap from winding check to tip is 4.5 inches. The weave itself is 1.25"L x 1"W on a Super Seeker CJB70XH Blank (maybe 1 or 7/8" diameter at weave)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim: Yes and no.
I borrowed the artwork from a Guy Harvey print and designed the weave myself using his artwork on PC Stitch. The weave itself was done on your Wonder Weaver, so frankly, Guy's artwork, your influence and my grunt work put the design and weave together. Last but not least, add Doc's DVD and art as inspiration.

Well, not only did you do a great job on the weave but also on the pattern.

Ken, I missed this one the first time around and caught it on the random images. That is THE best weave I think I have ever seen. Right up there with the very best and then some. Beautiful work!

Thanks Mark, Doc, Harold and Ralph (see you at the next L.I NERBS gathering?). Doc, no I never did take the time to photograph the weave with finish. My photography REALLY stinks and it takes me soo long to set up, photograph, break down and edit a weave photo that I look for any excuse not to do it. Somewhere down the line I'm sure I'll be very sorry that I didn't take the time to photograph my work.
