Go to www.google.com and enter "Turk's head knot" as the search term. Apparently one wins a Boy Scout badge for tying it correctly, so there are many sites that demonstrate how to tie it.

Aother source - If you want to make the investment:
"Encyclopedia of Knots and Fancy Rope Work - 4th Edition" by Raoul Graumont and John Hersel Cornell Maritime Press approx $40 ISBN 0-87033-021-7 If people spent more time on important things, there would be a shortage of flyrods. Re: Turks head, How to tie?

Bill,
This is how I learned. I use it quite a bit on low end rods to add a little flair cheaply. This site gives step by step. I would print it out and carry it to the shop. t[www.troop54.com] Good luck.......

Bill you need to go into "My Control Center" at the top of the forum list and unhide your email so folks can email you direct. Bill in WV Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/30/2006 11:46AM by William Bartlett. Re: Turks head, How to tie?

If you have a few spare dollars, there is a truly wonderful (albeit dated) book on all kinds of knots, sinnets, turks heads of huge proportions, etc. It's called The Ashley Book of Knots. Places like Bookfinder dot com will indicate scads of bookstores carrying it.
That's the search phrase... the book's title. A quick check over at eeb, eh? reveals a whack of them over there, too. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/30/2006 11:29AM by Ken Driedger. Re: Turks head, How to tie?
