Rope Cubes
The Monkey's Fist knot is a beautiful single strand knot, which is usually tied in it's spherical form.

As the following photographs will show, it can also be tied around a cube, or cuboids.


In it's cube form, the knot makes a very aesthetically pleasing design.
I started by tying the knot around dice to make key rings, and then used redwood cores for larger cubes.
The cubes can also be elongated, and covered in a most satisfactory manner.
Some other practical uses for these knots would be paperweights, bookends and rope doorstops. The rope cubes would make excellent rope sculptures for the home or garden.
I make my Monkey's Fist Rope Cubes with an eye at one corner as standard. Rope Cubes can be made without the roped eye on request.
The Rope Cube dimensions measure approximately 120mm, and the Manila cubes are around 130mm. I treat my Manila rope cubes with a natural varnish to help preserve them, and bring out their golden colour. They would be suitable for a light internal door.
