Figure 94. Bonito hook, variations in point lashing. a, distal lashing (1) with concealed commencement finished first; thread (2), instead of passing directly through proximal hole (3), carried obliquely across to proximal groove (4). b, completion of lashing commenced in a: thread passes around shank in proximal grooves, through proximal hole from far side, and descends on near side to cross over oblique thread (5); subsequent turns to complete lashing (6) fix oblique thread firmly; thread in last turn (7), after passing through proximal hole, makes couple of half-hitches (8) over oblique thread (5), is stoppered with overhand knot. c, point lashed with two separate threads; lashings finished on near side with side bindings (1); in proximal lashing (2), last turn (3), instead of coming through proximal hole, comes around proximal end (4) of point to form side binding (1).
