“One of the all-time great teachers in the custom rod building craft.”—Tom Kirkman, RodMaker Magazine
“Hand a person a custom made rod,” says expert rod maker Dale P. Clemens, “and in almost every instance one of the first things he looks at is the decorative thread work,” because a handsome rod is more desirable to own and fish. Clemens guides his readers through the organizational process of threading, illustrates the uses of patterns and replicas, explains how to wrap and weave, and gives his personal tips on how to make every rod “a never ending kaleidoscope of form, shape and color.” Offering a sound introduction to the essentials of thread work on round surfaces and more than one hundred rod art patterns suitable for both advanced hobbyists and professionals, Custom Rod Thread Art is the authoritative work on the subject. 200 b/w photos and illustrations.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
