Thank you for this tutorial. You are right when you say to weave this loosely. The tighter you weave the cord, the harder it is to get the fid into the weave. I used a much narrower fid and found it easier.
Mark, I am very new to paracording and weaving so thanks for a great tutorial on the weave and using this as a wrap. Do you have another tutorial for what to do with the ends of the wrap to finish it off? Do you simply singe all the cord ends? It seems that would leave a very bulky appearance.
im wrapping my cane. its takng 7 of eack color 14 of the vertical. for those that ask it does not have to be a even number. and yes the cords are gutted that is plainly notceable
You don't give a description for the lengths of your cords?? Does it stay around your dowel, or do you take the dowel out? And I still didn't see any way to tie it off, or melt it?? It's a great weave, and a good tutorial, but you did leave a few things out??? I read the comments, before posting this...Thank you in advance for your help!!
I like the triaxial stuff, but how do you finish the ends ? What can you do with it and how does a final product look like on for instance a bottle or something ?
Is there any sort of formula to work out the lengths of paracord to start with. for example, one foot of paracord per inch of finished project. If I wanted to make a six inch bracelet in this design, what length of paracord do I need to start with? Thanks
In this tutorial you show an 8 cord base (4 of 1 color, 4 of another). How do I scale this up for thicker diameter cores? Do I simply add even number cords of each color until they touch side to side all the way around?
The paddle handle I am wrapping is quiet a bit larger, in that case would I still start with 4 cord base colours to wrap around? Or should I double it? What Is the go to rule for wrapping larger items?
Here you show a base of 8 cords, 4 of one color and 4 of another. How do I scale it for a core that is thicker? Do I add even number cords and make sure they touch side to side?
Could this weave be practically performed with uncut lengths of each color, such that bights are left at the ends and the center core pulled and replaced with a single larger rope? Bights at the ends would allow for it to be used as a handle attached to two points.
That is some creative thinking right there, good job! As far as the core goes, you can make this weave directly onto rope. And the weaving could also be done like that. But honestly, this is something to try out! Mark
John G Barone Hey there! Indeed it is. I have also flattened it additionally by soaking it in water, then pulling it through a pair of nose pliers. It may seem like overdoing it, but I hate twists in the cord. Better safe than sorry and have a twist in something you really want to make the best you can. Mark
I would also think that you would want this as "flat" looking as possible to achieve the 3-D effect. Mark this is really a beautiful weave. Thanks for the tutorial.
I want to cover my jet lighter with this... But with using only 3 cords to avoid all the ends to cut I figure I could weave under a tie at the top and bottom and add a twist in the bite so it lays over on itself this is basically a 45° square basket weave before the 3rd color is introduced. The 3rd color can be one continuous cord that weaves both up and down. My question is how would you treat the ends in this case? Just leave them pointed ends out like Chinese finger cuffs? Or some kind of chain stitch with the 3rd color? Ideas?
Nice weave! Question- What if the dowel is twice the size Lets say for a walking stick, would you double the strands of paracord instead of 4 red, use 8 red and 8 of the other color?
Hello. I like very much your tutorial! Great work! Can you tell us more about the size of the paracords and how to finish the bracelet (buckles etc)? It will be very usefull too. Thank you!
turner7928 Hey! Well, the dowel I wrapped was about 3/8 of an inch and I used 4 of each plus 8 for the vertical. So that would be quite a few cords :) (about six times the number of each). But it would look phenomenal. If you plan on doing this, be aware that this can take some time and patience. Mark
Can I use embroidery floss to make it smaller? I usually get a little cross necklace after camp and some people like to make shorter designed strings, I was hoping to make one with this design
I have done the wrapping part a number of times yet it never comes out as tight and symmetrical as yours. Am I missing something? Is there a long arduous tightening process that you do?
+oldhess Thank you for the question! The wrap that is shown was not tightened at all! Is the object you are wrapping of adequate size for all the cords? Mark
Ronald van de Graaf Hey! Indeed that is the case. The numbers I used comfortably covered a 3/8 inch dowel rod. A larger setup is not much harder to work with, but is more time consuming. Mark
I love this...but (being stupid) Im not sure how I would finish up either ends to make it useful for like a lighter wrap, or knife or some other grip....sorry for the stupid question...just never got into wraps until I saw this ....
Roy, don't put yourself down! This is actually a very common question in regards to wraps. There are a ton of different ways of finishing wraps. My personal preference is this method, maybe it will also work well for you: ua-cam.com/video/S8pfpmL8Ecc/v-deo.html Happy tying, Mark
+Dean Wood I would assume, it depends how you're using it. If you're using it as a handle grip, I would suggest starting with using enough lanyard to loop enough length down the handle, and glue it on. Again depending on what you're using it handle for, say a hammer, use a liberal amount of rubber cement, but if it's something that needs to handle more pulling and less shock, a good epoxy holds all. Then weave the pattern, and simply tie it off with an over hand knot at the end, or pick a knot that you find aesthetically pleasing. If you want it to be more of a rope, again a simple knot would work, but I've seen it melted or seared together. Wouldn't work with leather strips, but most of the time nylons are the material of choice.
This is ALOT harder when you are trying to do this on a bigger cylinder like a paddle or axe handle. I can't even get the first part down. I am using 20 strands of paracord.
It looks like you are using gutted cord. If I want to wrap a larger diameter handle, I have a knife in mind, would I just add more cords, in even numbers, to fill the extra space?
Mark, Doing this wrap for a paddle. To cover it completely in vertical cords it comes out to an uneven number. I have 12 cords for the base wrap and 11 for the weaving cord. Will this be an issue for the pattern when it comes time to doing the 3 over, 3 under later on?
Hey! You can adapt the size of the wrap by adding more strands. So it is fairly versatile. I have seen people wrap anything from a whip handle, coffee mug to a pill bottle with it. Mark
I guess, but it will need some adjustment. You will need to do it very loose in order to get all the cords through. You should also roll it between two planks in the end to flatten it out. All in all, the gutted cord works great. Mark
+mailperson Hey! Probably not ;). I would finish it by securing it with a constrictor knot at the top and bottom using an inner strand of paracord or by using sinew. You would usually decorate the ends by using a turk's head knot at both ends. Mark

I find it curious how in this video you are pronouncing your "R" sounds very smoothly. But in many of your other videos your pronunciation of the R sounds like a "D" sound or has a heavily rolled sound. Are you faking the Dracula accent ?
Bit confusing when you say look for a Z, but then proceed to use something more like an S There was a Z being made of two orange and one red, but you used the S being made of two red and one orange So you said one thing and did the opposite
Thank you for this tutorial. You are right when you say to weave this loosely. The tighter you weave the cord, the harder it is to get the fid into the weave. I used a much narrower fid and found it easier.
Yes as Peter Petrov said years ago, how about a follow-up on finishing the wrap with cord endings and singing techniques.
I know your tutorials it helps me out a lot please keep teaching thank you
Good job on these triaxial weaves
That is amazing effect 😍
Wonderful tutorial. Very clear instructions. Thank you.
Mark, I am very new to paracording and weaving so thanks for a great tutorial on the weave and using this as a wrap. Do you have another tutorial for what to do with the ends of the wrap to finish it off? Do you simply singe all the cord ends? It seems that would leave a very bulky appearance.

Wow, cool pattern! 😊
Hey
Great video. I like the 3D effect that gets created.
You mentioned that there is a flat weave also. Is there a tutorial video on that one?
You don't give a description for the lengths of your cords?? Does it stay around your dowel, or do you take the dowel out? And I still didn't see any way to tie it off, or melt it?? It's a great weave, and a good tutorial, but you did leave a few things out??? I read the comments, before posting this...Thank you in advance for your help!!
how long were the cords? how long is the finished bracelet? it would have been better for me if you showed more of each step.
Would you know how to do this same pattern on a much wider handle? Like using 8 strands of each color instead of 4?
Dope idea and execution of any fears insane AF.You fckng rock dude....
I like the triaxial stuff, but how do you finish the ends ? What can you do with it and how does a final product look like on for instance a bottle or something ?

Epic weave
In this tutorial you show an 8 cord base (4 of 1 color, 4 of another). How do I scale this up for thicker diameter cores? Do I simply add even number cords of each color until they touch side to side all the way around?
Yep! They just have to touch all the way around, and be an even number of each.
If you start with say 16 red and 16 black then you want 32 grey as an example of larger aspect size
The paddle handle I am wrapping is quiet a bit larger, in that case would I still start with 4 cord base colours to wrap around? Or should I double it? What Is the go to rule for wrapping larger items?
Bonjour c'est magnifique..
Avez-vous une idée comment le finir pour en faire un bracelet ? Merci
Here you show a base of 8 cords, 4 of one color and 4 of another. How do I scale it for a core that is thicker? Do I add even number cords and make sure they touch side to side?
I'm thinking / hoping you're right... that's what I'm gonna do.
What does your finish look like ? The ends secured ? The design is beautiful !!
How are the ends secured ? I'm making a grasped around a walking cane ! 6" design
Hey!
I usually wrap both ends tightly using an inner strand of paracord or with sinew. I then cover the wrap with a turk's head knot.
Mark
Great design! I want to wrap my Apple Pencil gen2 like this, but want I want to know is. Can it be removed so I can charge it?
How do you finish the ends on each end? Fuse them or add to them?
Cool effect.Great tutorial, tnks.
How do you finish the ends of the weave to prevent it from unraveling?
Hi!
Usually I will bind the ends then cover the binding with a turk's head knot.
Happy holidays!
Could this weave be practically performed with uncut lengths of each color, such that bights are left at the ends and the center core pulled and replaced with a single larger rope? Bights at the ends would allow for it to be used as a handle attached to two points.

I am beginner please tell me how to call the "metal needle" and where to get them? Do you keep the wooden score inside to keep it round?
are the cords gutted?
I may have missed that part?
+Jeff P
Indeed all the cords are gutted :)
Mark
Nice job Mark. Is that all gutted paracord?
John G Barone
Hey there!
Indeed it is. I have also flattened it additionally by soaking it in water, then pulling it through a pair of nose pliers. It may seem like overdoing it, but I hate twists in the cord. Better safe than sorry and have a twist in something you really want to make the best you can.
Mark
I would also think that you would want this as "flat" looking as possible to achieve the 3-D effect. Mark this is really a beautiful weave. Thanks for the tutorial.

Nice weave! Question- What if the dowel is twice the size Lets say for a walking stick, would you double the strands of paracord instead of 4 red, use 8 red and 8 of the other color?
Yes. You basically just want to comfortably cover the rod without any gaps.
Can you use this pattern to do a flogger handle
Very nice thank for sharing
Very good, I will have fun doing this in Leather, that is why I subscribed 2 UR channel, U always explain it 2 me very clearly thank you ✝️⚾🙃
How do you finish it?
How long are your cord pieces?
that's going to depend on how long a handle you intend making.
Can you do this without gutting the cord ? I am thinking of doing this on a fishing rod for the grips
That was excellent! I like to do a lot of braiding with Kangaroo lace and rawhide, down under we call it '3 D'.
Hello. I like very much your tutorial! Great work! Can you tell us more about the size of the paracords and how to finish the bracelet (buckles etc)? It will be very usefull too. Thank you!
Would suggest build up ends with leather or such then do a turks head knot like whats on whips on both ends
Thank you very much.
Great instructions! Thank you.
How many cords are required for a 2in diameter walking stick? I was wanting an alternative to a longer turks head pattern...

Why respond if you don't actually answer any questions posted?
Lmao can you fucking read?
used to wrap a coat hanger in heart shape design for sweethearts day coming up
that was very cool. can you user that weave for a whip?
+Jasonscreative Adventures
For the handle, sure, why not.

Espetacular 👍

very nice! what is the name of the tool used to thread the cord?
Hey!
It is called a lacing needle.

thanks!
Technically speaking, it is called a "fid".

Pretty cool
How do you finish the ends?

+BeSatori
Hey there!
Excellent question. You need to keep the proportions of different colors the same.
Mark
Thanks
Could you make a video on how to use the Q Bert wrap on a water bottle
So nice
Mark,
Doing this wrap for a paddle. To cover it completely in vertical cords it comes out to an uneven number. I have 12 cords for the base wrap and 11 for the weaving cord. Will this be an issue for the pattern when it comes time to doing the 3 over, 3 under later on?
Yes will be issue even numbers only
very good work
1,000,000 de likes beautiful ☺☺😍thanks you me sirven muchísimos
thanks for this video
really nice to see and learn
:-)
How do you get a wrap like that, or the star triaxial extra tight? Do you pull each strand at the end, or does it just tighten on it's own?
Is there a specific diameter of the dowel or stick I make it on?
Hey!
You can adapt the size of the wrap by adding more strands. So it is fairly versatile. I have seen people wrap anything from a whip handle, coffee mug to a pill bottle with it.
Mark
Умница !
Спасибо!
Все очень понятно ! .
can you do this without gutting the cord?
I guess, but it will need some adjustment. You will need to do it very loose in order to get all the cords through. You should also roll it between two planks in the end to flatten it out.
All in all, the gutted cord works great.
Mark
How would you use this?
This one is often used on handles. A whip handle would be a good choice.
This would be beautiful as a fishing rod handle wrap.
Can you make a bracelet out of this?
MaverickIQ
I have actually just seen it made :), so yes.
Mark
+Paracord guild Any tips on how to pull this off. Newbie in weaving paracord. Any pics or even better video.
+MaverickIQ yeah it seems like there is a huge part being left out.
Wow !!!
A beautiful tutorial, no doubt about it. Please go ahead with your interestin g channel!
Awesome.
I know weaving the red and orange would be easier if you wove it all from the top down, just as whipmakers do.
Genial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+El Rincón del Soguero
Thank you!
I love your channel as well, beautiful work!
Mark
Wow 😮
So how do you finish it? Leave it wrapped like you did?
+mailperson
Hey!
Probably not ;).
I would finish it by securing it with a constrictor knot at the top and bottom using an inner strand of paracord or by using sinew. You would usually decorate the ends by using a turk's head knot at both ends.
Mark
Hey Mark, Where would I find out how to make a constrictor knot?

I did ask Paul if it is ok with him.
I do not think that people can own weaves or knots though.

🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨
When you are finished with the weave what knot or weave do you use to secure the open ends?
Copying this response of Mark's to someone else who asked the same question in the comments. :)
"Hey!

Mark"
I was looking for the same info too. :)
tnkssssssssssssssssssss I'm waiting this wonderful video
Maravilla
I am sad that this weave keeps falling off no matter how tightly I try to braid it...
This weave is no joke. I may have to resign myself to only being able to do this weave on my dirt-cheap woods, so that I can cheat with boiling water a little at the end.
It's a shame. I got into weaving parachute cord hoping to do a triaxial weave on my expensive nunchucks, and ended up with a swaggy belt that fits me for the first time in my life, and the most overkill-elaborate handle wrapping possible on a pair of cork nunchucks lol
hah! That's the same fid I use! xD
could I use this on a baseball bat.
+Timothy Johnson
Probably. It usually comes out quite tight.
It is work intensive, so take that into account.
Mark
Why would you want to? The weave is tight, but would probably get loose quickly with use.
Of course you could, but your bat would be much warmer and more comfortable if you simply slide a pair of those big, thick hunting socks over it from both ends. You're welcome! ;)
After you're done with the weave poor boiling water over it and it will shrink it tighter s#!t....give it a try I promise you'll like the results😎.
I love this design.

I find it curious how in this video you are pronouncing your "R" sounds very smoothly. But in many of your other videos your pronunciation of the R sounds like a "D" sound or has a heavily rolled sound. Are you faking the Dracula accent ?
Bit confusing when you say look for a Z, but then proceed to use something more like an S
There was a Z being made of two orange and one red, but you used the S being made of two red and one orange
So you said one thing and did the opposite
