Thank you everyone for your nice comments. Bruce, the wraps are nylon fly rod wrapping thread.You can get all kinds of different colors and diameters. I used the largest diameter.I used a string serving jig.Lay the thread on the limb and put a little spot of superglue on it.Let it set up good before you start wrapping.About half way thru your wrap lay a loop down of the same thread, wrap over it till you've covered the area you want,cut the thread free from the jig[keep tension it the thread you cut free],put the freed end thru your loop and pull the loop thru. cut off excess thread,burn the thread end with alighter and put a thin layer of superglue on the entire wrap. After the glue is dry,finish with Tru-Oil using an artist brush. No big deal. Hope this is understandable.
