My first Double braid splice

[Dean Lofthouse]

Not bad I thought

 

Is whipping it recommended ?

 

With the structure of this splice I would have thought it wasn't neccessary ?

Nice wand Dean

 

Whip it mate, bring on the bling

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

I have quite a bit of experience at knicking my ropes and it's always about 6ft from the eye

 

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

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.
