Hillbilly:
Thanks for posting that, Tim. One question: how do you finish the top of the wrap? Is it just glued down or tucked under? I remember seeing an old tutorial that JD had online, and I couldn't figure it out from that one, either.

Timo:
Hillbilly, the top of the wrap is acutally tucked under just a smidge.( Fourth pic )from the top shows where the wrap starts. It should be a fine point.I glue it there and when you bring your first wrap around,you barely cover the fine point. The first taper cut you make, is what makes this happen.

To finish, I just run the fine point of the end, along side of the last wrap,sometimes I use a bit of super glue here to help hold it.
