I was looking at the picture page and noticed some amazing butt wraps. I really cant figure out how to to some of them. I was especially interested in the 8 axis scale pattern. What would be the best way fro me to go about learning to do this weave.
Sincerely,
DAn Colville

Start by getting a copy of Dale Clemens "Custom Rod Thread Art". Read it and read it again, then have fun

As complex and beautiful as the "scale" wrap looks it is actually a simple wrap to make based on the +1 principle - you add an additional thread to one side of a diamond wrap with each succeeding pass. Pick your colors carefully for a good effect.
