Members littlec4 Posted June 6, 2011 Members Report 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
Members Spence Posted June 6, 2011 Members Report 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
