Here I am using the French whipping knot/braid techniques to dress up and cover the helm wheel on my boat. A #30 nylon tarred sinew line is being used. This type of line is used in making fishing nets and is waterproof. It also has excellent handling characteristic! It is tough line so be mindful of your hands.

Basically, you run a series of half hitches with the bite (knot) cinched up to each other, which develops the running pattern. It allows excellent grip on the wheel and makes it warmer to the hand on colder days. Great for the old s'cool nautical look.
