It's like basket weaving but with cord and you wrap around your blank.

There's a tutorial buried in the BD rod building forum from the master himself, Steve "Rooster" Paterson of Rooster Custom Rods. I was fortunate enough to learn from him live in person.

Hard to type it out and explain step by step (I'm not the best at it) so here's a couple more pics I took during the build. Once you figure it out it's fairly simple, just tedious.

Just ordered a skiff anchor and some lasso rope. Hope to get front row seats to the La Jolla rodeo.
