historyfanatic Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ahoy! Here are some fine brass spyglasses done up with knotwork and finished with kiln-burnt pine tar! Line used was linen. The large spyglass has a turk's head in cotton around the middle. Both are sealed with kiln-burnt pine tar. (They smell LOVELY!) The first is a medium-sized one that measures about 15" extended. It has a "french twist" around the outer chamber and has a turk's head knot at the transition to each chamber. 12x power. $75 Shipped The second is a very large glass that features an extendable sun shade and measures 36 inches overall when fully extended. It has a turk's head knot at each chamber, plus French spiral hitching on the outer chamber and spiraled underhand pointing around the shade. Shade features two turk's heads, one in linen and one in larger cotton. All knotwork is covered in kiln-burnt pine tar. 15x power. $150 shipped.
