Tutorial for Handle Wrapping?

[Tom Militano]

Does anyone know of a tutorial for handle wrapping? I ordered some materials and I need to find out the recommended way of doing this. Thanks

I have several bookmarked at home. When I get infront of my home PC if no one else has posted them before then I will.

Google search for the term tsuka-maki or tsukamaki and you'll find a ton of info on this. IMHO the http://pages.prodigy.net/tlbuck/tsuka/tsuka.htm link that Ripper offered is the best I've seen thus far for traditional (and complex ) tsuka-maki DIY instructions.

Here is a webpage catalog of 50 tsuka-maki styles: http://home.planet.nl/~sebregts/

Also check out Fred Lohman's webpage for pics & ideas, as well as materials and services related to nihonto.
