Lashing & House Building
«

We have all tried our hand at lashing a couple of poles together. Well, if not poles, then like me, a couple of pencils!
Here,
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chalain/en/mais_cons5.htm
, is a picture of a lashing used as a building technique in ~ 3,000 b.c. Looks like a "Crossed Lashing" (ABOK #2115) with a frapping turn to me.
I wish I could see or learn how this lashing was started and finished. After all, at times, starting and finishing a lashing is such a hot topic.
Cheers - Brian.
