BUBBA Report post Posted October 17, 2009 I have noticed a new knot used on western headstalls. It is called the rattlesnake knot. It looks to be four pieces of latigo tied together. This pic is a headstall on the nrsworld.com site. Go to the third page of headstalls and it is the 1st one. They have a few different headstalls with this knot. I was wondering if anybody knows how to tie this knot. Thanks for any info. Bubba Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KnotHead Report post Posted October 17, 2009 You'll have to give a more specific web address than that. I find 3 or 4 and more head stalls that you could be referring to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamroperdad Report post Posted October 17, 2009 I couldn't see the knot very well but i think it's a turks head terminal, maybe one of the braiders will be able to help more. I sometimes use this knot to finish a 4 braid. Is this the knot you are asking about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not seen one in person Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spence Report post Posted October 18, 2009 It's too late at night for me to break out the books, but I'm guessing it's a crown knot. I used that many times before in ropework and just last week did the wall and crown on a braided 'roo key fob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terirae Report post Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I was searching for some leather patterns and ran across this site - www.bighousedaddy.com/leather_key_fob.htm - and they had a picture of what you described. You just click on the picture and it shows a video on how to make a leather key fob with concho knot plus step by step instructions on the left side of the page. Hope this is what you were looking for. Terirae I have noticed a new knot used on western headstalls. It is called the rattlesnake knot. It looks to be four pieces of latigo tied together.
