Lucet

[Wichman]

From a Steve Good Pattern. A couple of Lucet's. 1/2" Elm, FD #1 polar for the inside cuts, FD #3 polar for the outside, one coat BLO. Quarter for scale.

Just something quick for the market.

A lucet is a tool used in cordmaking or braiding which is believed to date back to the Viking and Medieval periods, when it was used to create cords that were used on clothing, or to hang items from the belt. Lucet cord is square, strong, and slightly springy.
