I spoke to Dan about it when I did mine because he shorted me on the amount of cloth. He said to wrap the whole leg. The reason for wrapping is that the fibers in the Scotchply are unidirectional and they can split with the grain of the material if they are not wrapped. They would be most likely to start the split through one of the bolt holes that attach them to the top bracket.
