[Stormdrane]

Here's some photos of recent knot work I've done with leather cord and lace...

A pocket knife lanyard/fob with a 4 bight turks head knot in 2mm round leather cord, over paracord with a firesteel inserted...

A bracelet done with a long 4 bight turks head knot, over paracord with a side release buckle...

A couple key chain fob globe knots(turks head knot variations), 45 face and 18 face tied over 3/4" wooden ball cores...

Very cool looking knots. I've been playing around with various knots but haven't gotten close to these.

Do you use any specific references you could share.

Thanks, Kim

The long 4 bight turks head knot can be learned from a tutorial on the Knot Heads World Wide website, lots of knot info and knowledgeable folks there. Links for the two globe knot tutorials, that were made by a member of the French branch of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, can be found in my blog post on them.

Here's a leather lanyard I made yesterday with 2mm round leather cord. I'd done one with paracord last year, after someone had seen one similar and asked what knots to use to make one.

These are awesome, putting the braided leather on my HD crash bars is what got me into leather working.  Love the way a spanish ring know looks with a contrast between the top and bottom of lace, also love the mexican round edge braid,  but it can be tedious.
