Randy, beautiful work. Is that cordage AmSteel or something different? Thanks.
 
As a woodturner I've always been envious of the size of yews in England
 
I've been dealing with a small rope retailer/distributor for a little while now, and I've started to get some splicing jobs, non-life support, from him. This one was some random 5/8 inch nylon double braid he wanted a 6 inch eye on. This particular manufacturer (I have no idea who) has a fairly large braided core, which they fold over.

Come winter, I usually go on a spending spree to fix my winter depression...luckily this year I haven't spent jack, except 120' of 3/8" Tenex.

I had wanted some slings to hang a pulley, and fig 8 on my saddle for self lowering. I had some webbing but they aren't adjustable. I had some 1/2" Loopies but they were way to bulky, so these 3/8" ones were born. According to Nick and Sherrill catalog, should have a 1k WLL.

I am making 11 of them for the price of 1 from Sherrill. :)
