Jumperless jumpers

Thinking of making my own speaker cables with Dueland 12 gauge and bare wire termination.
Rather than making jumpers, could I just strip the wire at a spot a few inches from the end and again at the end. Placing each of the stripped sections into the binding posts.
I have not seen this done, but why end the cable and put in a jumper?

The Eminent Technology LFT-8b comes with jumpers for the two pair of binding posts, the jumpers simple lengths of stranded-copper with stripped ends.

Yes, you can do that no problem.
I've used that method in the past with the Duelund 16 and 12 gauge wire.

Yes this is a good method for sure. Even better sound can be had however by building jumpers using the Duelund 16 gauge stranded copper in cotton wire for the highs. Four strands twisted in a starquad configuration per individual jumper.
