Dale...I've given you all the answers to this wrap via email and on this page.......I guess I just cant decribe it enough for you to understand because its non traditional and I cant give you any kind of crossing point or numbers in MM's...its all in the turn at the top and how you mess with it thinking "outside the box"..aka theres no friken rules in wrapping thread. I got this "old school" turn thing from a guy named Roy Brower (sp?) back in the 90's...Cape Cod builder that cranked out some good stuff. My inspiration.
