Another Honda

[megabit]

Finished this one up today. I am really liking this San Jaun hybrid style. I have the first one on my gold polly. This is the 3rd one I've made like this.

Just curios.

How does that attach to a rope?

[megabit]

The rope goes down threw the ring knot and the neck. You put a terminal knot on the rope so it doesn't pull threw. I'll try to get a picture of the one on my rope later.

Hey MB--why not do a tutorial on these--or have I missed it?

You mean beyond me being lazy? Maybe I'll try to do one.

Thanks megabit.

I kinda think I see what you are talking about.

There is a loop at the bottom that is facing horizontal. Right? That is where you tie the rope on?

I'm also guessing it is made from rawhide.

Boy the things I don't know would fill a Public library.

I forgot to take the picture yesterday, but here is an older picture of a slightly different style honda but it should give you the idea.

You don't so much tie it on as slide it on with a knot at the end of the rope to keep it from sliding back off.

It is looking good MB. I would be interesting in seeing how you braided down through the loop and the neck.

What size of string are you using?

[megabit]

I'll try to remember to take pictures of all of the steps when I do the next one to do a tutorial. I use 4 strings about 1/4" and 50" - 60" long. You could get by with shorting strings but I'd rather have some waste than come up short.

I pull the 8 strands threw the loop and then do O1U1 like doing a multi strand noise button around a dowel.

Charlie I took some pictures the other night as a built another honda. I'll try to put a tutorial together RSN (real soon now).
