Thank you, Flemming. I didn't think about Long John until you mentioned him. That's one of the things about creating stuff that really appeals to me. I have one association to the thing I've made and someone else has a completely different connection to it. I really like that part of it.

Ethan, one thing about the tamarind, though, I was going to have a cup on the end and not use a transition knot, but I got it too thin and it cracked, so I had to cut it off. This whip may have turned out pretty good but the silly thing fought me all the way.
