My new rug is almost done!

Pictures will be up soon. JRW's newest creation is a long plait rug made from a 10mm Edelweiss rope and is teal in color. It is turning out pretty cool!

Long Plait rug in the works!

Keep your eye out for pictures of my new long plait.

The Spenard Saturday Market was a success. JRW sold a few items and a lot of people where interested in the rugs. See everyone there next weekend. Thank you Dos Manos!

*More Dog Toys Created*

This toy is a button knot joined by a double simple simon. What a cool knot!

The two dog leash is two joined leashes with a alpine butterfly to create the hand loop. Leashes are long enough to create the "Heel Dog" loop.* Leashes are approx. 8 ft. without "Heel Dog".

*"Heel Dog" is a loop tied with any bight knot about a foot away from the collar. It provides a handle to keep dog at bay when needed.

New Dog Leashes!

I have made many different sizes of leashes. Many leashes are long enough to incorporated my "Heel Dog" leash loop. This feature gives the owner a hand loop close to the dog to keep your friend at bay.* I also have lashes for smaller dogs. This round of leashes has a variety of bowline knots that create the hand loop. Every leash is hand sewn and covered at the clasp connection.

*See the picture of the leash with a secondary handle reinforced with webbing.

A Call for Rope!!!!!

Hello everyone! If you want to get rid of your old ropes, cords, and webbing I am always looking for donations. If you have a rope and you would like it to be memorialized, please feel free to e-mail me and we can dream up a design for you. If you don't have a rope, but you want a rug I have a collection of revolving rug styles to choose from.

New Dog Toys!

These are a new design of dog toys for Joe's Rope Works!

Joe's Rope Works!!!!

Welcome to Joe's Rope Works! I am happy to have a place to show off my creations. I work with retired climbing and boating ropes to create rugs, wall art, pet leashes and toys, and many other things. I know a rope is hard to part with, especially one that has been to amazing places with you, so I hope to create a bit of lasting memorabilia that also has a function. Here are a few pictures of my work:
