Sail weave by Pedro

[pedro473]

Hi All,

Well finally I have completed my first real colour change weave, with some advice from Owen on the weekend I had a crack and while it not the greatest looking weave ever done I am fairly happy considering I did the design and the weave myself. Things can only improve from here on in.
Sorry about the photo quality but as a photographer I make a good rod builder.

Cheers
Pedro

Hey John,

Good to hear from you mate, the metallic was realy good to use and I had no drama with it and it is a Bullards "A" and the design threads are medira poly neon.

Cheers
Pedro

Thats a great job Pete

I'm betting that looks better in person than the photo
You maybe made a small design error on the bill, but it takes time to learn what works in thread

You've definitely got talent.
