Here are some of my rods I’ve done. I have done a few test wraps on a cue but never finished one.

Absolutely outstanding work. Like I said, you don’t learn to wrap like that overnight.

WOW, looking at the design on the photos and I can't seem to wrap my head around this

With your combined (cue & rod) skills, you really should make something magical……

I may, or may not, have a collaboration in the works with a carmaker. Problem is that we are both slow.

Bought this STL4 here that needs a wrap. This is going to be my new guinea pig. Should be a fun project .

I want an STL 4 by the way.

For this collection. I have two more since I took this picture.

I have been looking at certain kinds of wraps for cue restorations. It is variegated, or segment dyed. I can't find such materials.

This thread topic made me think to ask here. Maybe the fly tying guys know something. Over the years there have been several materials used to produce a striped wrap.

What are these materials?

Yeah I’ve seen that pic of those cues of yours here on the site before. Nice, and the Schon STL4 or 5 would fit right in.

What impresses me is how well that cue plays. I put a 1.75” shaft extension and a Jacoby V4 on it to try out and can’t put it down. Very similar to my R-Series cues and hit….

Thanks for posting these. Great examples and ideas……

Not sure what these materials are that were used back then but I wouldn’t think is actually variegated.

This type of wrap is fairly easy to anyone that wraps. Todays theads are much better IMO and color selection is endless.

Here is a couple examples of some rods i have done with that same type of wrap. Once again, by wrapping with thread, the options are endless.

My wheels are still spinning, but have lots of ideas
