Pushing my thread wrapping..1st closed wrap.

[WaffleJaw]

I remember when I first started wrapping my first rod and found pictures of guys doing closed wraps. How amazed I was at the thread art they could do.
I honestly never thought I would try one or get close to trying one.
But while Im waiting on components to come in,I have a rod for myself Im working on,and well?....I had to try it to see if I could do it..I have the thread art book by Billy Vivona and talked back and fourth with him about understanding the instructions..The first two attempt were cut off due to wrapping out of pattern (the beauty of these if even your wrong,it still looks cool)

I think I finally got it....It only took about 10 hours.
I still got alot of thread packing to do,and I still got to do the tie offs at the ends.But Im pretty damn proud of this one.....
