Default Actually need 1 x 7

dpincus,
were you thinking to use the 7 x7 for lifelines and halyards? I was thinking that 1 x 7 would be better for standing rigging. After beating my head against the wall for days now looking for the stuff and seeing plenty of 7 x 7 go by I'm considering switching. I've noticed a few industrial type wholesalers out there but no one that seems ameniable to small orders. So, do you think 7 x 7 is good for shrouds, and is it friendly to splice?
I'm building a tancook whaler and trying to get into as many of the traditional methods as I deem practical.
