Plant String Build Along

Reverse twist:
The TBB Vol. II goes into the “how” and “why” of cordage making so I will say more with pictures here.
At this point all plant fibers are processed the exact same way.
I will need to take some more pics. It may be a few days before I get the whole process documented and posted. Please be patient.

Thanks for posting this, the string making chapter by Baker really intrigued me. I like to see different methods of making cordage.
Pappy:

Reverse Twist:
Again plenty exists on how to do this so I will document with pix. Holler if you have questions.
lay out rolled fibers.
To make a loop begin six inches in and begin reverse twisting.
after about an inch of cordage is made, loop the cordage section into a loop. take the short ends and match up with a long end. Then continue reverse twisting.
Bark will be falling off as you work this and some fibers will be sticking out. Don't worry about appearance just yet. Shaggy will get a haircut with fire!
