Big 0l' Snake Whip
Posted: Fri 3. Sep 2021, 01:38
Here are some photos of the snake whip I've been working on for the last week or so. There was a gap between finishing the bellies and starting the overlay because I had to order the silver cord and it took much longer than I had expected.
The whip is 8 ft. long with a weighted, TT core,
3 plaited bellies,
a 3-strand flat braided Engish eye fall hitch
and a 20 plait overlay in black, silver, and red.
The heel is a 7x6, 3-pass THK over a lead foundation. There is also a 3x13 2-pass Spanish ring knot for decoration.
