Carrick Bend Neckerchief Slide Video

March 2, 2016 By Clarke Green

This slide is based on an idea found in “Whittlin’ Jim’s” column in the December 1950 issue of Boy’s Life.

This neckerchief slide can be made from just about any straight-grained wood, the piece I use in the video is probably the smallest workable size. Take care drilling the holes, too much pressure and you’ll split the wood.
