Just a quick post of the wrap I've done on Grahame's Loomis.

Yes, Grahame (grave41) has trusted me with a loomis!!!! brave man.

Well, I havn't feathered the ends or burnished over the threads yet, probably won't have time for the epoxy till at least Tuesday.

Another Viswrap triumph.

Graham will be very pleased I'd say. :)
Is that the rod he was doing on the RB M&G??
I'm really enjoying the endless possibilities with the VisualWrap. I even had my mum having a go on the 'puter changing colours around to see what see likes :)
Cheers then
Scott :)

Yep Scott,

That's the one!!!!

He will have to pull his finger out, other wise the cross wrap will be the only thing on that rod that's been completed.

Jeeze I hope he reads this...sorry Grahame, well....... sort of sorry:).

thanks Graham,

I've feathered and tied off the ends with a black trim band. The first coat of epoxy went on today.

That looks very cool...really really nice job.
I'm guessing that would take a bit of patience.

thanks for the thumbs up guys.

and yes, there are no shortcuts in the scale patterns, it's one thread at a time.

It's one of those patterns that doesn't look like much, until you get well into the second half, then it starts to jump out at you.

I agree with everyone else that looks awesome Roz. I love looking at rod art but doubt I will ever do any myself. I don't have the patience! :-/

Just superb - great depth and so 3D. Must be awesome in the flesh and under epoxy. Never gone as far as a wrap like this...done many chevrons, diamonds etc but this is stepping into the next league. Again congrats....

That is awesome. My old faithfull Abu Garcia bream rod could do with a refurbish but wouldnt know the first thing about it. Any word on the next rod building weekend in Brisi/Sunnycoast area? I'd love to pick the brains of some of you guys

Cheers Chris
