You HAVE to lock stitch it. Tell whoever you were talking to that a locked brummell is no substitute for a stitching. The stitching is essential, as your pictures show.
Nah- the distance from the brummel to the tuck is alright. I personally like it closer, but that's just style. The prob...
Evan- in a locked Brummell splice, the Brummell is SUPPOSED to take the load. The Brummell IS the splice. You could shorten up the bury quite a bit if you felt so inclined.
After finishing the splice, how did you lock stitch it? You have to do some sort of stitching before you start tying...
YEAH BUDDY!!!!! Way to go!!! That was a heck of a project.
I probably wouldn't have bothered with the chafe sleeve. If you do it again, try it with a piece of leather. It'll look super classy!
