Is that a standard shoelace that you used?

Here's a link Brad put up in another post...

PS.
Brad, take a look at your buddies BM and let us know what the clip point looks like.
Is it flat or almost sharpened on top?

My buddy BM is exactly like one you got from me..
They were purchased at same time...
Yes it is standard shoelace...
If i can get it right this time i will try to give as detailed instructions
as i can....

I think it's 1 of about 6 or 7 made like it.
It's a Rare BM if it is.

If it is the clip is sharpened to a dimes width or less on top.

Nice BM...

and, a really nice wrap too! That would look good in red underwrap and blue overwrap!!! Hmmm, gundy is getting itchy feet...

Any body trying to do thier handle like the orginal PBF dont
bother with shoelace it is almost impossible to get nice diamond
shape....
If you do use it put super glue on the fold to hold it in place..
Also glue the side of the lace to underwrap to keep it in place.
hope this saves some frustration..
