Hello Pineapple Knot Forum!

I am a new user, and I was prompted to post these images after I submitted them to the webmaster in response to his page on "long" turk's heads:  

http://knotical-arts.com/nantucket6.html

Here are two examples of long turk's heads used as grips for traditional sailing tools.  The first is a seam rubber I made from scrap this weekend, finished with a 16 lead, 3 bight "long" turk's head for the grip, and a standard 3 lead, 5 bight TH at the base:



The second is a 16 inch marlinspike, also with a 16L3B grip, a standard 3L5B TH at the top, and a 5L4B TH at the bottom of the handle.  




Sorry for the poor quality of the photos!  I've enjoyed checking out everyone else's work...

Happy Knot Tying!

Drew
