My first Double braid splice
Not bad I thought
 Is whipping it recommended ? With the structure of this splice I would have thought it wasn't neccessary ?

Yes to lock stitching. Whipping is more decorative than functional IMO.

 So I made it a mission to learn and save myself some money in new rope, although saying that I have to thank Bob for doing my splicing previously and saving me loads

Re: My first Double braid splice
I start in the vee of the eye and stitch down about 6-7 inches. I also rotate around the rope as I stitch, so the stitches aren't all parallel, but cross the splice in different directions.
Once you've gone that far a quick whip and box stitch is easy to add. |
