weave before or after handles?

Hi folks. From my previous post, you probably know I'm doing a 6 axis 3D chevron (first time) on my latest spinning rod. It's a green and yellow Packers theme. On my practice blank, I'm adding a G fingernail tattoo also. I'm not sure that's going to look good so I'm contemplating trying my first weave to make the G logo. I have an Easy Weave jig I got cheap from a guy, and I've used a graphics package to make the pattern on a square grid.
The thing is, I already have the handle and reel seat installed on the rod so I wonder if that makes it harder to weave. Is it generally better to do a weave before installing the handle and seat or doesn't it matter? John Shear Chippewa Falls, WI Re: weave before or after handles?

I've always done my weaves after the handle has been installed.
I figure there is less chance of messing up the weave if the handle is on already. Regards Dave Fishing is Life the rest is just Details Re: weave before or after handles?

If you finish the Weave and Epoxy it there is no chance of hurting the weave during installation of the grip Re: weave before or after handles?

if you have a fore grip on the rod, it will have to have an enlarged hole to fit over the weave or the larger BUTT section , you can fill it in with tape an epoxie but you will need a larger winding ckeck to cover the added space around the rod I think ,
it is your choice you are makeing it, SID William Sidney AK Re: weave before or after handles?

If I'm doing alot of threadwork in the split between rear grips, I do the threadwork and 1 coat of finish first. Then install the butt piece from the butt., the other from the tip. I use a section of a 3pc blank shoved into the working blank to support it and give room for the left loom off the working blank. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
