handle wrap

[rover brewer]

about to finish my second bow,thinking about doing a wrap with jute string. does anyone know where I can find instructions hopely with pictures on doing this?

Nope but its not hard to do, start by trapping the tag end under the first 3 or so wraps. then wrap as tightly as you can. To finish take a 6" or so piece of the jute, double it form a loop then wrap over the top for 3-4 wraps, pass the tag end thru the loop, then pull the loop back which will take the tag end back under the wrappings. Snug everything up and trim the tags flush. I like to seal and set the wrapping in massey finish, 2 part epoxy thinned down and painted on. Hope this helps.

thanks I'll give that a try, if I screw it up I got a lot of string.
