Dwight Report post Posted October 19, 2016 If you google the term "rope lashing" you can find information on this. It actually is only one great big overhand knot, . . . with the ends pulled together between the two layers, . . . and is the technique that for centuries, sailors have made eyes on the ends of rope for lashing, tying, and for lasso's, . . . And BTW, . . . that is a cute bracelet, . . . thanks for sharing. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HENDREFORGAN Report post Posted October 20, 2016 In the UK the technique is known as "whipping" and is usually restricted to rope-work, yours is the first example I've seen done with leather cord, I would have thought that using that would have proven to be too "grippy" in passing the thonging beneath to finish off . . you have me thinking now as to where I can use this idea. Thank you. Yes, nice bespoke design and the use of a bow shackle makes this very suitable for Steam Punk too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tugadude Report post Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like waxed nylon braided cord to me. Don't see it as being leather at all. I use a similar technique as a finishing wrap on handlebar wraps, using twine for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
