Its Saturday, sunny, and Im in a good mood. So, I went outside and took some pics. I had it wrapped before, but wasn't happy with the ends so I tied, untied, tied, untied, and finally found a way to end it off the way I like it.

Wrapping has been pretty easy for me but the ends are a pain :mad:. I like the way you have that done, great job :thumbup:.
 
Very nicely done! Taking care of the ends is always the hardest part of any wrap job and you did a good clean job! :thumbup:
 
You definately won't be losing that anytime soon.

Looks great! Especially the butt end of the handle.
 
Ok i got to ask how did you do that. I have my ends tucked back in under the wrap on the handle but it never stay tight and i have go go back every so often and pull it all tight again. Can you please draw/show pics of how you tied the end knot. thanks

Let me see if I can word it right.

I started out how "cutlerylover" and the instruction sheet tell how to weave it. Then where cutlerylover starts to wrap the end/ring, instead of one end going in through the front and the other end coming through the back side, I wrap them both in the same direction, in through the back and around and back inside all the way till you get the two long cords at the tip, on one side.
Then I pull those down and across the open hole to the spanner piece of the handle (the part that forms the ring on the inner part of the handle). Then I push both cords through and to the other side. Then I pull both back through the ring with one cord on either side of the cord coming across the open ring part. Then I simply tie a regular overhand knot. I went one further by pulling those two end cords left over through to the opposite side and tying another over hand knot. Snipped the cords and melted the ends.

You've no doubt been confused seven ways from Tuesday so I'll probably end up making a video.
