Post your work

I just know that there are some people out there that are continuing to tie knots other than only practical ones. Hopefully you will join me and display your work.
I had this knife that the handle was odd shaped and uncomfortable so I used tarred seine and “decorated” it. It smacks of practical, but thought it should go in this thread.

Very nice work… both practical and decorative!

Thank you Znex!
Got anything you would care to share?

Here’s a pair of small bottles with opposing colors that I had tied a few months ago. I haven’t taken any pictures of my latest work so will need to dust off the ol’ camera. ;D

Nice neat work.
Yes, dust off the camera! Please.

Love the flat braid! And the Pineapple came out nice and tight.

Nice work Brian. Is that from the new kangaroo hide that you just received?

Not too knotty… but here’s a puzzle inspired by ABOK #2616

Brian, that braid and pineapple is a beautiful piece of work!!!

Thanks for the kind comments all.

Pull middle through hole as far as it will go and then split the two. One going to the right and the other going to the left. My best guess.

Some ket fobs I made over New year…

Nice fobs Essexman. What is your resource for the paracord?

Excellent…FANTASTIC I love posts like this as I get to see some wonderful craftsmanship!!! It also forces me to catalogue some of the work that I have done so far.

Here is a cat of nine tails that I made a little while ago.

This is now my needle container, it was a container for test strips.

This wonderful stainless steel and brass fid was made by PJ over the pond in the States, all I had to do was dress it.

The grip fid was also made by PJ, I added the antler horn. I also incorporated two lock nuts so that I could adjust the way it sits in my hand when doing certain tight work.

This was an old pot that was kicking around and destined for the tip. Now holds my pens in the office.

EVERYBODY beginners and experts post your stuff on here…don’t be shy!!!

Great looking work Johnny. And such enthusiasm too!
I love when we get excited about our work and the work of others. What it is all about with decorative knotting I think.
Amazing how addictive it is.

PJ’s tooling work is impressive. His knot work is as well.
If anyone has a custom tool idea and wants to tempt reality, he’s the man.

And to repeat Johnny: “Don’t be shy.”
Please, your work just may inspire another’s.

Oh I just love it!!!

This is my first proper winter doing it - hell we were snowed in for a week and I loved it!! Spent a great deal of time knotting and wondering what all the fuss was about weather wise??

Now looking forward to the warmer weather and feeling the heat of the sun as I sit outside and knot.

The only thing is that as I am still a beginner, I need posts like this for inspiration and ideas!!

Here is a clothes peg that I dressed up a little.

Cheers for the kind words.

There’s a mix of cords in those pics.

Although I’m in the UK my last 1000ft came from the supplycaptain -http://www.supplycaptain.com/index.cfm?category=6

Great cord at a not bad price. But you need to buy a fair bit to make the shipping worth while. As a side note boxes from there always fly under the radar so no C&E fees to worry about (so far).

I’ve also used the bushcraftstore in Enfield , North London. Only a 20 mins drive. They have an online store and sell on eBay (UK). Really nice guys, great customer sevice, but I have found some of their cord to be a bit unround/flat so went back to the supply captain.

There’s another major supplier in the UK called 5 star cord who has a large website, but I’ve not used them.

Hope that helps.

As I am in the U.S. the Supply Captain link is familiar to me, but you may have just helped some U.K. based brothers and sisters. Thank you for sharing that.

Whoo Hoo!!! I’m honored. I got to see this first after you!!!
