One of the easiest types is the reverse wrap. You can do it with pretty much any number of strands, but I've only tried two or three strands. For knots, I'd look on Amazon.com for a book. I bought "The Morrow Guide to Knots". It's a good book with nice pictures.Sassmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118738459126760028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805035.post-29464656782666648142008-03-20T12:24:00.000-04:002008-03-20T12:24:00.000-04:00What do you find is the best weave for making cord...What do you find is the best weave for making cord?

Someone really knowledgable might be able to ID it based on the bark in the first picture.Sassmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118738459126760028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805035.post-1157463444250880862006-09-05T09:37:00.000-04:002006-09-05T09:37:00.000-04:00what kind of tree?what kind of tree?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
