115 x 232. Madeira design threads. "A few little imperfections here and there but i'm happy with it. I still prefer the simpsons done in ncp thread to madeira though, but as this was a large pattern - madeira is smaller and fitted better."

115 x 232 all madeira design threads. "Finished this one today.It's not going to need much tightening as i kept it nice and tight throughout the weave. Just need to pack the threads to close the gaps. I will do the tie off wraps and finish work after christmas and post again when complete. Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone on R.B.O.!"

New weave - "Sexy Marge" Yeah, i know... another simpsons weave! i hadn't planned on doing anymore, i just saw this picture and thought i'll have to make up a pattern.I usually like to do the simpsons in ncp thread as they seem to look better, but the pink thread i intended to use had deteriated - snapped easily, and i had no more, so decided to use all madeira instead, It will

Forum: rodboard

Finished and ready to tighten up a bit more and pack. I'll mention the thread details when i post this one again with trim wraps and finish.
Forum: rodboard

When you use cp on the top layer it dulls the pattern and you can't quite make it out as good, but it comes alive again when you apply the finish. I love doing these wraps!

Always great fun to do!

34 x 22. Quite a small weave and quick to do. My initals inside a map of Jersey (channel Islands) where i live. It's on the opposite side of the rod to where i put the bass weave so its not seen. I might put this on all my rods as a way of signing them.
Forum: rodboard

This is on the rod with the bass weave and dragon scale wrap. Black and white (ncp) base wrap, Madeira Aqua - top, 1 sacrificial thread.

Forum: rodboard

This i've incorporated with a dragon scale wrap on a factory bass rod i'm rebuilding. I've posted a sample of this weave before but it was done in size C & D design threads and size E wrapping thread, this time i've used madeira for the design threads and size D wrapping thread.
