Topic: Dropping strands on the outside of overlay...
Mike Icon (same person who does Faceplait) posted a picture of a whip he made where he dropped an overlay strand on the outside like you might do on a belly, then used that strand to make a knot. One comment said they still use sinew to secure the drop a little, then put the knot around the thong.
What are your thoughts on this? I personally thought this was a neat idea, as I've started enjoying Spanish ring knots in particular for the simplicity. **Disclosure the whip below is the picture Mike posted and is his whip
