As someone who's made cordage a few times in their life, let me just say: I'm envious of how even and well-finished that looks! That lashing on the end looks so smooth, and that taper is so well done I can't even guess the spots where the strips were cut. Wow. Just wow.

This is excellent. Practical archaeology is far more informative than speculative. Scientific method in action. Well done, mate!

I watch Sally Pointer's chanel. While she studies neolithic period with experimental arciology her method for twining bast into cordage is the same as yours. and it's a very simolar movement i use when i ply strips of plastic grocery bags into yarn(plarn). It's amazing how long some techniques have been with us!

I guess you can pretty much apply the exact same principle if you were to make a sling for throwing stones. After all, the Anglo-Saxons, like many people from around the world, still viewed the sling as an essential tool/weapon for deterring wildlife from livestock and of course deterring banditry, or perhaps aiding in it.

Agreed Sean! You could definitely use this technique to make a sling, there's also this great video on braiding a Balearic sling - kzitem.info/news/bejne/r4iwrZarcHSnmaQ

in my neighborhood when linden branches fall in the road, cars crush the living daylights out of them as they rot, and it forms a dusty brown bast segment I can just dip down and grab, then ply as i walk.

Oh that's interesting! Does the bast last long or is partly rotted? I have seen that around here, but it tends to rot quite quickly into small fragments on the wet muddy roads. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! The tension is kept between the twisting hand and the hand holding the cord, but it doesn't need constant tension as the strands are twisted individually one way, before being twisted together the opposite way, which holds the twist together. Thanks for watching!
