How long you been splicing? That's a sweet job on that one! I'm just learning myself. I remember one of your posts about slicing 3-strand. I wrap the ends in three different color pieces of elec. tape to help keep track of whats what. Not that mine are any good yet....
I only started splicing doublebraid rope last year, and play with it when I can. Hoping to do it more this winter, after I get a splicing bench built at the shop. It's fun, but can be pretty frustrating, too. Bag 'O Rope helps for practice rope!
