To finish, the nettles are given a round turn over 

 the last three wrappings of the warp. The warp 

 is hauled taut, the nettles are pulled taut and the 

 ends cut off close. The whole may be shellacked. 

 Plaited Ring — An ornament for rings where they are 

 not used for passing latigoes or lashings. Two 

 lengths of small stuff are taken, one twice the 

 length of the other. 



At the middle part of the long piece, make a Clove 

 Hitch around the ring that at the same time, takes 

 in and securely fastens one end of the shorter piece. 

 This gives three free ends. Each free end is made 

 into a half hitch. 



The ornamenting may stop when that part of a 

 ring is reached where the chafe comes. The ends 

 are fastened by tucking them under the preceding 

 turns. A coat of shellac may be given the whole.
