I made myself a new fish hook today in between jobs, the shaft is carved from Ash & the barb is a
bamboo skewer, but it could easily have been a thorn, piece of bone or even
carved from a stick, it's whipped with linen thread, i had the end of a
roll from my leather work, not enough for making a sheath or belt, but
just enough for this.
I quite enjoy making these up, OK, I'll never use it for fishing with, but they are great to make when you have a spare 30 minutes or so.
For details on how this hook was made, please check out this simple tutorial I've published, i still need to capture some extra detail on the whipping process, but if you study the photo's, it should make sense.
