A few years back (10-15 = a few....lol) there were printed instructions somewhere on how to do a butt wrap using threads layed out vertically along the axis of the rod. The wrap turned out not too bad and was fairly unique and I still have the rod today. Will post pics when I get a chance to take some new ones. Anyway, I dont recall where I read the instructions and I have a customer wanting this type wrap. This is an old method of decorative wrapping and is pretty straight forward. If anyone has any information on How To, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by a vertical butt wrap. They can either (such as a fish wrap) be wrapped up or down the blank, or have the fish oriented across the blank. Are you referring to either one of these methods?

The inittial layout of the threads, I layed down 6 or more threads going up and down the blank and taped them down to the blank then proceeded with cross wraps. I just posted 2 pics under thread art.

That wrap is called Interposing Angles, the article was written by CAm Clark. I believe it was written somewhere around 2000 or 2001.

DING, DING, DING, DING.....Cam Clark would be the guy. For some reason I knew you would know it. Thanks, Billy. Now to just find the article. lol.

Billy, in talking with BD, I think I have to agree that this is not "Interposing Angles". His anaylisis on a thread by thread basis of my crappy pictures leads me back to a "Vertical Wrap". I do recall laying down vertical threads for the center diamond in yellow. I have 2 rods in the works right now and will be revisiting this when I get those done. And the searh continues...........
