muffins/puddins' and other rope work.

[uncas]

I'm partial to The Marlinspike Sailor, though I know that there are several other good texts.

I think the trouble here may be that there are many ropework books that cover decorative stuff as a sidenote, but few that focus on the decorative stuff alone.

As I understand it...it's the protection at the bow of one's dinghy/dory/etc. so that the dinghy/dory etc. doesn't raise havoc with the side of your boat...Often nailed in place with bit of old tire.
Also seen on the bows of tugs....

I had made a bow puddin' for a chaisson dory that had a murderous stem. Started out making a swordmat pattern and to taper, I would drop a hitch leaving a tail. It ended up looking like a mini tug puddin'.

I have a nice pudding for dress up that is made from a piece of net with strands of line knotted through the holes in the net.
