HALL, T.

Tom Hall has probably contributed most to making clear the tying of turks heads & all the various possible interweaves. He comes from a rawhide braiding background, but his book is equally of use to all who work in rope & cord, well illustrated with lots of over/under sequence tables & drawings to make it clear.The books are soft cover spiral bound so they lay flat to work from.
