I started this last night with the underwrap and finished it up during lunch today. Its a tad rough, but I'm starting to get the hang of controlling two spools on on the carriage and one in my hand and control the carriage at the same time. I saw these yesterday on another web site and just had to try it.

Its called a Tiger Wrap and is the signiture wrap of Scott Throop. What I don't like about diamond wraps is coming up with entertaining color combinations and relying on set patterns. When I was in school I did a lot of Raku ceramics and loved how the process dictated the art. When I saw what the tiger wrap or Morie was all about I got pretty excited to try it out. The wrap has a 3-d effect to it as you change you viewing angle the designs change - its really cool.

Putter and Doc Ski are doing a seminar on this wrap technique next month at the rod builders workshop at Lamiglas and can't wait to pick their brains.

There is scheduled to be a demo of this wrap at Lamiglas in April.

Wow, that looks really great. I would like to start doing some rodbuilding myself. Just need to find the time.

It actually doesn't take much time, you can work on something for a few minutes than go do something else. I will warn you that rod building is addictive and will lead to a new type of sickness, but what a gas to catch a fish on a lure you made and a rod you built. If you like that tiger, wait till you see the one I just put finish on!
