Thanks Jessie.
Ron, it cracks pretty well. I was hoping to wax it for that little extra bit. After trying a few test pieces, the cord wouldn't reflect at all, so that idea was trashed. Luckily, the core isn't shot loaded and the handle foundation isn't metal so even if it gets drenched, it won't rust inside. That and the brass could just be polished up again.

Scrappy Update:
As mentioned in a Roll Call thread, I have had to strip Scrappy back to the core. It was complete apart from heel knot and wax but I was just not happy with so many aspects. I'd not bound the handle area nearly enough and consequently there was no stiffness to start the loop. I stripped back just the handle and add some more sinew but had to cut a fair few inches from the handle to be able to replait back over. This caused more issues so I decided to junk the whole thing and start again.
A new 6' TT core is made and new first belly on. I'll bind that this afternoon. I've kept the overlay cords so Scrappy will still be scrappy

The donations thread will not open for me at all. It sucks. Any ideas? Ive restarted my phone, logged out and back in. It just wont open completely. It loads everything up to the line in Keanu's post where he says the Maltese cross. After that, all I get is gray.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
