Fancy Ropework by Miss Laurie

Boating season begins. A customer needed some maintenance done on his dock lines. Whipping is a treatment done to the ends of lines to prevent them from fraying. The photo on the left shows a common whipping, the simplest kind. The one on the right shows a sailmaker’s whipping which is used for 3 strand rope. This rope is 8 plait, so I was able to modify the whipping to make it work. Happy boating! 🪢⛵️🚤

It’s World Knot Tying Day 🪢

Sharing a couple of new pieces. The Ocean Mat, and a heart that I made for my sweet husband.

ℹ️ Seeking feedback ℹ️

I just finished this gorgeous wreath for a customer who requested this color combination. Teal tracer in a white wreath. We matched the paint color to the rope and Greg painted matching buoys. QUESTION: Should I start incorporating this wreath in my standard offerings beginning in 2021? Please PLEASE drop a yes or no down 👇 in the comments.

Thank you so much! I always appreciate feedback from my followers. So many of you have provided valueable input in the past. You all make me a better maker. ❤
