Hi all, figured I’d try braiding a Turks Head knot onto a rock just for fun and to try something new. Kangaroo lace in natural and burgundy, and the knot is a two-pass seven part six bight Turks ahead knot, using the instructions from a Ron Edwards leatherwork book. 
 

now I need to figure out what to do with the rock :lol:

Funny you say that because that was the first thing that came to mind.  When I was a kid, Pier 1 Imports used to sell the pet rocks.  What a weird thing those were.  Of course Chia Pets aren't far behind.

Extremely well done.  You are really 'rocking it'!  Is that a chunk of marble, or am I taking it for granite?  Sorry, couldn't resist.  It is actually quite cool.  Not sure of any practical use, but it is an attractive paperweight.

on a side note, you can hang it on a leather braid and call it a Indian weather rock

if rock is wet, its raining

if rock is white its snowing,

if rock is swinging, its windy

if rock is gone, tornado

Ha! Good point- I’ll have to make a mask for him. Safety first!

Thanks! I’m assuming it’s round cording? I think the flat lace is easier to do, since it tends to ‘grab’ and stay put a bit better. Polyester can be slippery

Maybe there’s a business model in this? :lol:
