a speargun in the making.

Err.. No. It depends on what the range of the gun is to how many wraps. Set up a simple under trigger release. Much better!

Good point. There have been other discussions & posts on wraps. Probably worth doing a search of old threads. e.g. http://forums.deeperblue.net/576767-post39.html (Apparently Dave was 2003 UK National Spearfishing Champion).

You might find this thread handy if you about to rig. Miles did an excellent series of posts showing crimping, etc.: http://forums.deeperblue.net/forum61/thread64504.html

oak is good for burning in your wood stove, teak is good for building guns.

Anyways...
I have begun making my second speargun now, also oak.
I think its going to come out a lot better.
Went and bought a router and some other tools today. I will start another thread when I have taken some pictures.

By the way, thanks for the tip about the thread about linewrap

Oaks take a long time grow -- hopefully folk will find a good use for them before burning. E.g: HMS Victory: short slide show.
