Since I started wrapping, I have been able to broaden my skills from doing the basic ring or diamond weaves that you can find on the shelf in your local sporting goods store. I have also branched out from doing strictly saltwater fishing rods to freshwater as well. In my gallery you will see examples of themes, color schemes, and special wrap types such as: dragon skin wraps, pigment marbling, holographic wraps (aka: Tiger or Throop wraps), abalone veneer wraps, personal weaves, decals, & Japanese style Urushi done with abalone.
