Butt wrapping

After pouring through the photo galleries I have decided that I would like to try my hand at doing a closed butt wrap with a weave overlay like in Jim Kastorf's gallery. I have purchased Doc Ski's dvd and have done a couple of weaves and love doing that but now I need to know what dvd or book to purchase to learn how to do the closed wrapping style ( haven't even tried open yet, so I don't know what I'm getting into ). I guess another question would be: if I buy the Wonder Weaver would that assist in a butt weave also?

There are numerous books on doing butt wraps such as Clemens, Kirkmans, I think Billy 40 has patterns for sale, and the Visual Wrap program is highly recommended by those that have it. Also there are tapes and maybe dvds, on how to do crosswraps. Not any harder than doing weaves imo. I try to keep the butt wraps simple since there is a weave going in the middle of it.
email me and i'll give you some tips on doing weaves over the butt wraps, I tried to email you but its blocked.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the reply. I believe I have fixed the problem of my e-mail being blocked. Please try me again.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff in reference to the WW, you cant ask for a better product and It will definetely be an aid to doing the most complicated wraps you can imagine. Give Jim Upton a gingle about mounting the WW on the handle assembly and avoiding any unwanted compression of the hypalon or cork. Doing a weave on an closed wrap would be a beautiful combination that isnt seen very often.
