OMG Roz , Beats staying at home and knitting jumpers over winter

I wouldn't want to use it in fear of damaging it. Hang it in the wall and just admire it for the art work that it is

Well done, hope to meet you and your masterpiece one day.

It never ceases to amaze me what you can do with a disability like phills. I mean two toes and two thumbs and this is what he can turn out, imagine what he could do if he had all his fingers. That turned out great mate, I’m very impressed.

Thanx for that Pete. I've been into rod binding overdrive lately & finished another wrap over the w'end. This is the one I am most happy with so far.

bit closer, although I had 'issues' with one of the threads in the wrap.

Hi Roz,the colours you have chosen on your design look great and work well together, the threadwork is very neat and detailed,very nice work.How many hours did it take you to do?

cheers mike.

Very nice colours Phill. They contrast nicely with each other as well as the black colour of the blank.

And as for your other piccy; like a gun barrel mate, like a gun barrel.

Very well done!! You should be very happy with that.

Well done to everyone!

My great uncle used to bind for Angler Rods up the coast and this is something that I would love to try!

However - it looks like ALOT of patience and concentration is involved and with a 2 and a 4 year old, I am sure that I could not dedicate the time required!

Roz - that is the most beautiful work that I have seen - I would be a sucker for one of your fishy patterned rods!!!

Cheers

Janine,

I think you know one of my favourite people, theoldlegend aka John.

If you know you are going to be seeing John, give him a rod you would like to have bound and I would be happy to. I would only expect you to buy the thread.

BTW, Volvo aka Peter taught me everything I know about binding, his work is amazing and he's a good teacher.

PM me if you are interested.

cheers r.
