Hey, this is a great new weave Blaise, what ratio did you use? Is it stiff?

Thanks, man.

At the A.R. I posted, it is quite stiff. The ring size I used to prototype it was 16SWG, 3/8". I used copper, because the ring id's are only like a hundredth of an inch off from springback.

This one will definitely have a max A.R., above which the captive rings will fall out, but I think it will be high enough that no one would want to use the rings anyway, as they'd be too weak to hold together.

I'm really pleased with it so far. It make great wall-hanging art...

A gorgeous pattern - I made a triangle of it tonight. First attempt didn't go well, but I ironed out the mistakes and have a nice little wall-hanger now. I'd like to make a bigger sheet of it as a decoration, but I'd need to make a trip to Home Depot first.......
