Thread Wrapping at the MPG

[RNelson]

For anyone looking to add something new to your pens, I will be demonstrating how to Thread Wrap your blanks to give a whole new look to your pens. From start to finish this demo will get you started on your journey to something new. Thread wrapping is not new to pens but there are only a few turners that I know of willing to take the plunge. Johnny Max was the one that inspired me to go this road, (or is it a rabbit hole) either way it is worth a look.

I won't be going to MPG (not this year anyway - perhaps a future event) but I looked at the schedule of demonstrations.

Yours would be one that I'd definitely want to see, these pens look great. A future rabbit hole for me, perhaps!

These are absolutely beautiful. very talented.

I always loved this idea. Had hopes of one day trying it but never followed through. I brought a guy here years ago who I followed his beautiful work and he did some outstanding work. he eventually started working for a vendor to sell his blanks. Have no idea of what happenened to him.
