Looking good bro.


I knew this guy that would catch black widows and somehow flatten them. He would then flex coat over them on the base of the blank above the top grip. He would make sure the red hour glass was exposed and legs spread out. A very unique and eccentric technique.

Giants jig slinger was too long for the standard  sized bed on my wrapper so i had to buy an extension and move operations to my kitchen. I wentbtjrough a couple differrent looks with the guide wraps and found one i was jappy with.   Finally got the rest wrapped with a couple coats of finish.  Just need to turn a plug and tie a turks on it.

Couple freshies.  United Composites CE 800mega and a US800mag. 

Progress shots.....mega is up first, going with a peacock feather inlay in the split grip with a 4-axis chevron.  Working on the butt wrap now, 8 axis, 20 inches and what will wind up as 25-30 repeating patterns.  This thing is pure pain lol. 

Had to fabricate my own alignment jig cause the standard 12” version you can buy just doesn’t cut it for the long wrap.
