Ok... probably comes with instructions like soaking for some days before wrapping... like basket material.

Looking forward to seeing your finished project.... already a beautiful thing.

It arrived today from Japan.
All instruction where in Japanese of course, so I had to figure out my self how to do it.
I soak it in warm water for half an hour to make it flexible and then I started to wrap the handle.

Lookin good,one thing you might try tho,google whip finish.
Hard to explaine but lay a pce of doubled fishing line on the handle than wrap over it.
Loop the end of the material thru the mono loop and pull it thru under the material.
Makes for a nice finish.

Thank you very much pixelfixed. My finish is a bit ugly I know.

To be honest, I didn’t understand exactly what you describe as the finishing technique due to my English handicap, but I will read it again and again over a thousand times to get the meaning, and maybe I will fix it.
