FOR SALE: Premium Bumper Tow Ropes <<SOLD>>

Post by Wingnutt » Wed Dec 13, 2017 7:28 pm

As reported in my Early Bird flea market thread, I found a coil of genuine 1-inch diameter 3-strand manila rope a few weeks ago.

Image

The rope was old, well-used, and weathered, but with a nice golden hue, and in very good condition. Perfect for Jeep tow ropes with that combat veteran appearance. Turned out to be about 80 feet, enough for three (3) tow ropes.

Each tow rope is about 21 feet in length with eyes spliced in each end, a minimum of four tucks, sheared, seered, and whipped with twine. I’ve put some smaller seizing type whippings on my ropes in the past. These are more painstaking. This is my best work. They turned out terrific, look authentic, and add protection to the splice.

Here is a photo of the tow ropes before I whipped the splices.

And after.

And some close-ups.

Whichever one you think is best is fine with me. I'd like the one you used for the how to if it is available. It's fantastic that you are carrying on a skill perfected by your father. That's the best part for me!
