Finishing the locked Brummel

[Bob Pingel]

I typically enter my bury a diameter or so down from the brummel. A close as I can practically get into undisturbed braid.

If you entered an inch or so down, I could see that you have two little parallel sections of cordage. The only risk I see is that this little loop cold get snagged and pull out the bury.

In the future, I'd enter the bury closer. For now, I would through a little frapped whipping over the little loop to keep it closed.

I typically put a diameter wide whipping right below the entry point. I have seen some riggers stitch axially along the bury, some even with a sewing machine. I like the little whiping just to keep curious fingers from pulling out the bury when unloaded.
