Yesterday I spent most of the day creating a Sailor's Needle Case. The Needle Case was used by sailors to store the sail needles required for mending sails. This Needle Case is 7 inch long piece of bamboo and was made with 52 feet of small line in a period of 11.5 hours. This is a great example of Marlinspike Seamanship at its best. Many folks do not even know of this style of knotting but it has been around for hundreds of years. if you wish to see more awesome nautical knot works or Marlinspike Seamanship, visit the store page of www.marlinspikes.com
