Excellent video. I was making these in the late 60's, yeah... for sure. So now I'm an old hippie. Let me share a variation that worked for me. Take all twenty cords, separate the two colors, find the middle of the full lengths. Make a simple overhand knot and tie just half of it to your branch. Start your weave in the middle of the belt and finish off one half of it. Turn it around and work on the second half in the opposite direction. That way you can have both ends with the same length of fringe. Just a suggestion. I'm real pleased to have found your video.
Travis First off, thanks for the great video. I've watched a few of these and yours is by far the easiest to understand. That being said, I have a request. I'm not sure if you even do this anymore, but, I make 1700's period correct black powder shooting accessories and I want to do a few of these straps for powder horns, knives, shooting bags, etcetera. Can you figure out a way to attach a folded leather strap piece to the ends for attaching to a bag or horn, and do a video. Thank you very much. Stoney
Travis. I have been looking around for ideas to do this also as I am building another fur trade era shooting pouch. Theres lots of good ideas on Pinterest and the Muzzleloading forum for attaching a strap this way.
Great job! As others have said here, your instructions are very clear and straightforward. Thanks!

This is such a great tutorial and introduction to finger weaving. Very practical and to the point. Really appreciate this. Thanks so much for sharing.
Nice job!!
By the way Travis, great video. I have been practicing with some cheap jute before I try with the hemp. Your explanation helps a lot.
Helped me get my Textiles merit badge, great video, thanks!
Thanks, brother! Good stuff.
This is a good concept for making a belt. I used this weave with paracord to make a belt I water while in the field. Keep up the bids brother!
wow !! I will like to try this while travelling so will have to try it on some portable and light stand which will be allowed on flight
nice job.
GREAT WORK! T.Y. Show off your belt, don't be shy! :)
