Twine can be used over the whole of the bars or over tape. It’s more durable, especially if shellacked. I think it’s a practical old-timey thing that Joe picked up from that booklet (which I’d like to know more about), though it is also popular among hip young things on fixies.
I dont get the twine thing. Can someone explain it?

I think it always looks good. http://www.instructables.com/id/Handlebar-barwrapgrips—whipping-and-shellac-cov/
Probably looks fantastic, but feels like shards of glass. No thanks, petrochemical “cork” for me, every time.
Of course there is also genuine Portuguese cork
Ah, hay-bail twine — for that rustic Pennsylvania style.
