: On the paddle I just finished I used Turk's Head knots for drip rings. They
: came out quite nice.
: I make them each of them from a 28" length of 1/8" black shock
: cord. The shock cord makes it
: quite easy to tie the knot and just pull the loose ends under.

: To learn to tie a Turk's Head knot go to:

: Hope this helps.

: All the best,

I just looked at the link for the Turk's Head knot I gave you and noticed that they
go around with three parallel strands, I only used two and it worked just fine.
