A handle wrap on a rock

Some of you know that I have published a booklet about Japanese basketry embellishments, with an addendum on putting a knot on a rock.  Today I tried a handle wrap on a rock, and took step by step photos for you to follow. (Please see my copyright info page. The link is on the right side.)

I should have mentioned that the horizontal piece gets laid down first!

I forgot a photo here.  The next step is to tight up this knot and clip the tail.

I flipped the rock the other way when I reached the end.

The tail goes under the last lashing, and then gets tucked under the horizontal piece.
