Knots that I have used instead of leather wrapping handles the two bight turk's head and gaucho knot

Here are a couple of knots that can be tied with leather lace for a decorative way to wrap handles. The two bight turk's head knot and the gaucho knot of two passes. They do look like braided leather but are tied with single pieces of lace. Unlike braided handles where I need to bind on laces these knots don't need anything to cover each end. These knots are very versatile for handle wraps because they can be extended to cover almost any length of handle by just adding more wraps when starting the knot. The same thing can be done with other knots like the single pass gaucho knot I tied in the last video about knob handles.    • How to cover a knob handle with leather us...   On these handles I used about 6 to 8 feet of half inch wide lace to cover about 4 inches of handle. 1/2 inch leather lace is available in my Etsy shop: https://bransonsgeneralstore.etsy.com...

Most often they are about leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap.
