Great thread and info. Here I am hoping to get into other roping issues. I have run into binding some stuff with the lamps and furniture i have made. The one or two knots i can do are not the best, and in some cases i cheated by using glue on a weak knot. Lets talk about knots: knots for tying off a binding around a bamboo pole, or like on the bottom of some of Gecko's carvings, for that matter correct binding, any useful knots for tying off more natural ropes used in lampmaking, etc. My guess is BambooBen is the man on these techniques, can you help a brother out? Thanks, TT
