Turk's Head Knot marathon or The Pilings Project
The Piling Project...
Transforming our new shop at Olde Mistick Village is still in progress. Basically the finishing touches. And most spectacular are the new pilings arranged as a fence around our small courtyard. The plan was to tie turk's head knots on all of them and also wrap them in some old line from a fisherman friend. Well it is almost complete.
The pilings were cut in various lengths.
The giant auger got things going.
Post hole digger helped.
Tonka toy mini excavator on the job.
Pilings ready and waiting for their knots.
Some practice work at the house.
Nautical knot tying at it's best.
Shaping the knot.
Tucking the ends.
Getting there.
Even the local ducks came to watch.
You really need a sense of humor for this work.
Feeling finished!
Did I say we had benches?
As I drove home that day to stop in at the new shop, there was a surprise. Jill and matt were hanging colorful signal flags everywhere. Calling it 'Signal Flag Project'. And they spell out "Mystic Knotwork at Olde Mystic Village".
