So I just finished wrapping the flags on the butt end of my rod. And I've tried numerous times to try and close off the whole design to just show the flags but I cant seem to get it to close evenly. My first one and I'm out of ideas ???? I'd appreciate any tips or advice! Re: Flag wrap closure

Pack the areas that have closed (push on the sides with a burnishing tool, fingernail, spatula, etc.) to make room for additional thread passes. Continue the closing by wrapping over areas that have already been filled over until any open areas are also covered up. After the finish is applied the spacing differences will be less noticeable Re: Flag wrap closure

I've never been a big fan of Taper Offset Spacing unless the taper on that part of the rod blank was extreme. By packing tightly in one area and burnishing heavily in another, you can generally get these things to close more than well enough.
