Experiment
I'm always up for an experiment. This one is from Deborah Chandler as one of three ways to tie the warp onto the back apron rod when warping front to back.

| Lashing the warp onto the back apron rod |
I use lashing-on for tying the warp to the front apron rod all the time. But I found trying to do it on the back too fiddly, I think because the warp is not yet under tension. Not a keeper.
Notes
For warp separators, I've gone back to using slats from mini-blinds.
I apparently didn't keep the ones I originally made (how-to here). I liked my little strips of wood, but I don't have many of them and I can't seem to find them anywhere for purchase. Anyway, these are lightweight, smooth, and curve with the warp beam.
The wood strips make a good two-stick header.

With that, I'm ready to weave.
