Maybe that is why I have 5 rods to build right now which will take me most of the winter probably. If you think that was intricate wait until you see the next one I am doing. It's a custom 9/11 theme with a matching guide and butt wrap. 8 colors. It is going to be awesome.

    Can't wait to see it.

    Hopefully soon. 8 colors. 444 individual threads. Over 200 turns. About 3/4 done now on the weave. Still have to do the dec wrap and guides after that. I'll post up the weave when it is done
    Enjoy the Journey

    Finished off the 9/11 weave last night about midnight. Had to cut it off unfortunately. I made some mistakes in my patterns design and no way of salvaging yet. I am re-designing it on mjy computer right now to correct the problem areas. About 40 hours weaving down the drain but I want it to be perfect

    Oh well. Still learning
    Enjoy the Journey

    40 hours. 444 treads. Holy cows. Probably need a few days off before attempting again.

    are you using special software. or the old fashion grid paper. I can't imagine 444 treads.

    Doublerunner. What software are you using to create your weaves. I'm about to do a 13'0" heaver for Cape Hatteras and I got to do the skull. I've looked for weaves, and I think your skull is the only thing I think I can put on the rod. Awesome work.
