    whipping twine

    I'm saying I get it nice and tight, and a spiral pattern emerges as I progress the work. Always done it that way, first on boats then into my Arb stuff. I find it easier to keep consistent tension especially on longer runs than just wrap whipping.

    whipping twine

    When I finish a rope with half hitches, it ends up with a pattern of the hitches that twists around the rope. Each hitch lays snugly adjacent to the next as you tighten it and you end up with a natural twist pattern and everything real tight. Forcing them to stay in a straight line isn't necessary.

    whipping twine

    Yes waxed, grips better and stays in place better during the whip. When it's done it kind of melds together, helps protect it from the abuse of being on the end of a working rope.
