Figure 98. Bonito hook, neatest snood-head lashing: a, d, top views; b, c, side views. a, commencement end of thread hidden under four straight turns (4) through hole (3) of shank head (1) and over snood (2); next turn (5) on ascending from far side crosses over snood and makes turn (6) around snood, crossing over itself on snood in middle line to descend on near side (7) to pass through hole (3). b, first turn around snood (a, 6) well to right of previous lashing turns to enable subsequent tur…

Figure 98. Bonito hook, neatest snood-head lashing: a, d, top views; b, c, side views. a, commencement end of thread hidden under four straight turns (4) through hole (3) of shank head (1) and over snood (2); next turn (5) on ascending from far side crosses over snood and makes turn (6) around snood, crossing over itself on snood in middle line to descend on near side (7) to pass through hole (3). b, first turn around snood (a, 6) well to right of previous lashing turns to enable subsequent turns to follow closely on left of first; each turn through hole ascends on far side, makes turn around snood, and passes through hole on near side; third turn takes extra turn around snood; six turns (8) in all made and crossings (9) above snood carefully made to form pattern; last turn finished with thread (7) on near side of snood. c, thread from last turn (7), instead of passing through hole, passes back under snood, makes turn (10) over it, and crosses diagonally (11) on near side to pass under snood on right of lashing; thread (12) brought to right of lashing for final fixation of free end. d, thread seized with close turns (13) around snood and end (14) fixed under three loose turns subsequently drawn taut.
