Round Braid Whipping

Recommended Posts

Hello friends!

I've been taking a little break from tooling and experimenting with making some braided cords, and I think I'm going to make myself a nice wallet with a lanyard. I figured out a way to make a nice 4-strand braid cored with 550 Paracord and it turned out really nice. I want to whip the ends with more lace and was hoping to be able to do this knot (pictures below) but haven't been able to find out what it's called or how to tie it. Any clues?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Smartee! I checked those out - I don't think that's quite it. On examination of these pictures, it looks like a single loop lace or a French whipping but I'm not sure if it's part of the braid or applied after the braid is whipped inside the coil. Thanks for your input!

Anyone else? Thanks for your time.

I have a book on braiding at home.  I'll take a look this evening and see if I can find anything in there.

G'Day,

One name immediately  springs to mind, ' Bruce Grant ' .

Google ' Bruce Grant Leather Braiding' .

This book is my ' bible' of braiding.

Hi HS! I have the Bruce Grant book but this particular clinch/knot is not in there. However I did just order the “encyclopedia of rawhide and leather braiding” so maybe that’ll be included in there. I’ll keep you all posted if I find something. Thanks for your input!
