: Yes, a Turk's Head knot looks great and is easy to do. I used 1/8" white
: nylon rope and then saturated it with varnish after it was in place on a
: cedar Aluetian style paddle. It made it a nice caramel color and looked
: real natural on the wood. However, it doesn't do a great job of keeping
: the water off the loom but it looks cool and nobody can figure out how you
: got it there since it doesn't seem to have a beginning or end. Make
: several wraps and it looks like a braided bracelet.

I met a guy once who had a 15 or-so bight Turks head bracelet on his wrist. Talk about patience!!
