New setup kindly made for me by my brother. "Testing the thread carriage out. I have always wrapped and weaved with the thread coming from behind and over the top, feels strange wrapping from in front lol, but I think it will be better for weaving. I have another thread feed post if I want to wrap or weave from behind though".

A couple of tigers I did recently on a customers Shimano rods. Bottom layer - black and white, top layer - Madeira Orange, 1 sacrificial thread. Just about to put finish on the top layer of the second one. The tiger wrap is hidden due to the cp on top which always fades it, but reappears and makes your eyes go wacky when you put the finish on lol!

97 x 196. Design threads - Gudebrod NCP except for the hair where i used a Madeira rayon thread because i did not have that colour in NCP. I wouldn't recommend using rayon thread in a weave or a dec wrap for that matter, because apart from it breaking compared to polyneon when you tighten the threads it frays and breaks easily when you pack them too. Some light hazing in the hair where i rolled a
