Update the pictures better look at the whole stick.

It as been a number of years sense I rapped a grip on one of my sticks. But the look good and people seem to lick them. It has been mostly a time issue. I can texture the grip faster. When I did rap the grips I used marine cord. I rapped the grip using what is called a "French spiral hitching". You see it on the rails or helms of older boots. It gives more texture to the grip. I added a "Turks Head" to the top and bottom of the rapping. Made a nice looking grip and it last very well.

Is this it? I will try it!

It looks great!

Hi CAS,
Yes that is the french spiral hitching. I would recommend a glove. You need to pull each hitch tight. It can ware on the hand after a bit. You may find it handy to have 6" peace of dowel 1/2 inch or so to push the raps tight to each other . Any small peace of wood will do. As long as your hitch is tight it will stay in place as you do the next. Hope that is of so help.
