ROPE DOG LEADS & TOYS
This rope dog lead was made from a length of 16mm hemp, and features a Manrope knot at the base of the hand-hold loop.
A tapered spliced eye loop forms the slip part of the collar; this was decorated with continuous crown hitching, finished with a Turk's head and a coxcombe service around the eye.
Rope Leashes
The images below show three rope leashes including a double dog lead - the Orthrus Lead, named after the mythological two headed dog! This is made from 12mm natural hemp rope, with loop handle and two separate lead ends.
Also shown is a dog lead made from 8mm black gelon (nylon rope) with eye splice around steel thimble and chrome triger hook and a large short leash made using 18mm hemp with a carabiner hook.
