      French Whipping


        A decorative whipping used to
        prevent a rope end from unraveling.
        Also used over railings or tool handles
        to provide a firm grip.
        Formed using a series of half hitches
       (see p.23) tied in the same direction.
        Secure the twine around the rope
        with an Overhand Knot (see pp.28–29)
       before starting.
