Brummel
Yes, the brummel I mentioned is the one that the Mobius construction yields. You can get there a few different ways. You can do it "naturally" if you have access to both end of the rope. You can use the Mobius method that Brion shows in TRA. Or, best of all, you can use the McDonald method shown in the Splicing Field Guide.
I have only seen round thimbles in bronze, Brion's shop would be a good source regardless...
