James Watson is an established craftsman who has has built up a reputation for good knotting technique and reliable service, under the name Stonk Knots UK. With over 12 years of experience, and an extensive knowledge of ropes and practical knotwork, Stonk Knots has, in the past 5 years, also fulfilled a growing demand in the making of stair ropes and barrier rope hand rails.
Using decorative ropework, applying the ancient skills of marlinespike tying, Stonk Knots explores traditional and contemporary themes, transforming rope and cordage into both practical and ornamental pieces - monkey fist light pulls, grommet towel rails, non capsizing hammocks and turks head napkin rings to name just a few.
There is an emphasis on neatness of work and on the use of natural fibre ropes such as hemp, cotton and manila. As all the rope products are individually hand made, much of the work can be tailored to individual requirements and customers' own ideas.
