Hi, I am new to TC and relatively new to bone carving, though not to carving in general.
I would like to get some input on a few things I have been struggling with in reference to finding the right cord for both lashing and the necklace itself. while I have read every post on or relating to the topic and searched online for nearly a year for the right materials they have eluded me thus far.

which brings me to the question at hand... besides every single bead website, every store and manufacturer of poly/nylon cord I have searched thus far... anyone know a place to procure this elusive stuff?

I am sure there is some level of secrecy involved about it though because no one wants someone else to post a website and create yet another competitor, so let me put these fears at ease. I have no intention of ever selling my carvings. while I do enjoy the smell of burning bone and at the start of this journey my intention was merely to possess one rather than drooling at every one I see, and well it was a nice gift for my brother as well.

picture of my latest at the bottom. comments, advice are always welcome.

Pm me if you happen to know a place to get the cord! thanks

post your work if you want, I always love to see what everyone can do!

Thanks :)
