I am in the middle of a couple of projects that are very japanese in style and I need a couple of tsuka wrapped and two sageo tied on the siyas. I have a friend who has an auto body shop who lacquered the siya for me (oh they are gorgeous) one in traditional black and one in a burgundy with a gold metal flake (I might hang some fuzzy dice offa this one) that is just drop dead gorgeous.

But I don't know how to wrap the dang things....I could send them up to Fred Lohman but the cost would be well..alot more than I am willing to undertake on "spec" pieces...I am willing to trade a bar of welded cable or two for this service

Anyone have any aid to bequest upon a poor, ignorant blacksmith??

I already have the ito (wrapping)...

Thanks all...
