i started it a while ago but just got around to make the rest and to wrap it, im trying a 45% polyester and 55% cotton blend, pretty thin but it great to get a first tight curve.

Looks good, but watch out in the center. Every curve and imperfection will be amplified when you lay the resin down. And don't forget, that it needs to be pulled TIGHT to eliminate saging.
It looks like a great start.
