Post by: Mad Max on April 09, 2021, 12:25:53 am

Looking for some wrap for grips.
I don't like franks rattan.
Looking for rolls 50' or more.

I don't see any nodes on this wrap.
This is 3/16" wide

Mark, I've done a few cane handle wraps, both the size you have posted, 1/4" and 1/8" and prefer the 1/8" for appearance and comfort. One problem with the 1/8" is it takes about 15' or slightly more to wrap a 4" handle without splices. I never figured how to make an acceptable splice with cane wrapped handles.
 One source of the cane is basket suppliers or chair caning suppliers.
