Long Turk's Head on mini-maglite


I made this long Turk's head (16L3B) after viewing (and re-re-re-viewing) Stormdrane's video tutorial. I used some kind of cotton cord on Perma-Lok needle. It took a while to get it right but I am happy with the results. This was a rather stiff cord and I didn't have enough of it to go around one more time. What I realized is that the so called "fairing" of the knot can be a real challenge if your cord or the substrate on which you are tying the knot is rough. As you can see I was not entirely successful in straightening the knot.
