I'll post a few pictures as soon as I figure out how to do that, and as soon as I get a hook done that is decent enough to want to take a picture of! I keep figuring out what I'm doing wrong here and there as I go along. I have Louie the Fish's video seared into my brain. The youtube version of Louie's bone carving video is the Cliff Notes version. If you want to see the entire epic, in which he also covers lashing, go to:

Please post any tips regarding braiding, materials, etc. Regardless of what my hooks actually look like, this is the most fun I've had in a long time!
