Pretty good, but it needs to be stretched a bit, so I would probably stand near the fire like Wolf to heat it.
I saw 10" heads on Ebay for $2 apiece. Unfortunately, I would need a 12" piece to refinish the head. The rip is so small that I think a simple repair will fix it.
I took lots of pictures of the rope work since I think that retying the pattern of cords will be the toughest part.
I'm looking foward to a nice weekend project.
