Sweet Jyri! I see you did an english eye. Nice job keeping everything straight and even!

What method did you use to add strands?

Thank you!
Ethan, i place strand under side of the thong and plait sometime over it and pull it in and continued plaiting. Then i added second one same way. Then i added them bolth same time or with a tiny space so there is as little uneven plaiting as possible. I should learn to do it better tought.

But it works... ;)
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

That is lovely, Jyri. The plaiting is excellent. How does it crack?

Jyri, this is legitimately an amazing looking whip! I really like how...clean your transition knot looks!

Wow!!! That looks amazing! You should definitely find somewhere to hang that on the wall once you have it broken in. So you can show it off to guests.
