Not long Tracy, its a basic wrap. I tack my starting tab (stained a different color in this case) with a dab of CA. Then as i wrap towards the bottom of grip i pull tab out every other wrap. I did another one that had two lattaces, the second coming up from bottom to top. Thats a bit harder, took a big needle and pliers, lol
