Maglite Wrap #1: 4 Bight Turk's Head

Here is a wrap on an Incandescent 2-Cell MAGLITE. This is the first of several MAGLITE wraps that I've woven. They are a great size for paracord wraps and are just outstanding flashlights. This particular flashlight is one of the older models. The incandescent bulb has since been rather trumped by the LED flashlights whose undying bulbs and lumen outputs are hard to match. Despite the milage seen by this flashlight over the years, it still works great and has taken up residence under the seat of the pick-up truck, ready for any roadside use and assistance.

The weave around the handle is a four bight, thirteen lead Turk's Head Knot with two passes. I used some left-over red polypropylene cord on this wrap. As per usual with my wraps, it is gutted cord for a flatter and tighter weave. Typically I would have made the weave a little longer adding more leads, but because it was left-over cord my length was limited. The truth is I will probably re-wrap this one with some 550 paracord. That is, after I've wrapped all the other flashlights laying around the house.
