Very nice Graham – how was the grip binding done please?

Hello Mark 5

Here is the info my mate sent me hope it helps.

Tell your mate the covering is French whipped cord, wrapped in self-amalgamating tape. Tell him good luck, he’ll need a lot of cord and a lot of patience, the whipping is easy to learn but quite difficult to get neat and straight, and is a ****** to unpick if you make an error. The S/A tape needs carefull wrapping so it is all even but there is considerable variation in quality on the market, some tear a bit too easy and we’ll have to see how your one goes, this is why I put the whipping seam on the inside.
