Braiding rattan rings

7. Take the right wrap, and pull it over the left, making an eye.

8. Pass the long end down through the eye, and out the right.

9. Pass the long end over the right wrap, and under the left.

10. Take the right wrap, and pull it over the left, making an eye.

11. Pass the long end down through the eye, and out the right. Then roll the scabbard toward you.

12. You MAY quit at this point, or you can parallel one or both of the lines all the way round, to make it stronger. I’m going to go round once more.

13-18. Pick the best line, and parallel it all the way around.

19. When you get to the back of the scabbard again, tuck the long end underneath in an area that looks good to you, and cut it off.

20. Slide the ring up into position. If you like, you can put some white glue on the starting and ending points, and wipe off the excess.

You are welcome Charles. I'm happy to give back in some small way to this fine group of folks who have been so helpful to me.
