So far as I can see the math involved in knot theory has nothing to do with braiding a knot.

However there are a couple of things that do help. They are some stuff "Tom Hall" covered in his book about turksheads.

I have covered the way I use them on my site at taylortel.net/stwood. (Just Google The Basic Turkshead for the url.)

The topic titled Run Lists lets you generate the path across a knot with any coding you want.

Hey Gary that looks pretty good! You could probably add in an interweave where the handle gets wider and eliminate the gaps!

Thanks, Bob.

Unfortunately, there are some gaps, but that's due to some stretch in the string as I was snugging it. Don't know if an interweave

would have helped in this case.

It's my own mallet, so I let it slide. :head_hurts_kr:
