After completing the primary wrap, you now have a tie-off loop in position for an accent wrap of a single or double revolution. Simply make a pass or two around the blank and then pull BOTH ends through the tie-off while gently nudging the accent band into position as the gap is closed. With a bit of practice and proper burnishing, it will look absolutely perfect.
This worked great. Thx for the tip.
