littlec4 Report post Posted June 6, 2011 I have seen several old time cavesons hanging in barns, and even in Al Dunnings Western Horseman Reining book. Looking for a tutorial on how to tie barrel knots (if this is the correct name) in three strand rope. Thanks Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spence Report post Posted June 6, 2011 Barrel Knots are also known as Blood Knots. Blood Knots are commonly used in the cracker of a whip. Very simple knot but I don't have a tute. Maybe Bevan can join this thread with an answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nod4Eight Report post Posted June 6, 2011 I was going to just post the same link rawhide1. I've used that knot fishing and various times to splice 2 ropes together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
