I've got an old knot book of my uncle's(former brigadier general and knot finatic) but haven't found that particular one yet.

Unga, nice book! The auctions around here have 20-40 floats going to local antique dealers(haven't had the chance to snag myself one yet), I'm so amazed at the variety.

Flounder, how much rope did you unsucessfully use with that little one? I guess you could figure it out...200' for, say, 15", 67' for 5"? I guess you'd need 12 equal lengths of...what...5'...ending up as 2.5' sticking out all the way around? Ok, so math isn't my thing... does this sound about right? Maybe more? It would get pretty expensive fooling around with long lengths of rope cut into so many pieces! I'd love to see what you've done so far!
