	Turk's Head Rings
		The Turk's-Head is a tubular knot that is usually made around a cylindrical object, such as a rope, a stanchion, or a rail.
		It is one of the varieties of the Binding Knot, and serves a great diversity of practical purposes but it is perhaps even more often used for decoration only; for which reason, it is usually classed with "fancy knots." Representations of the Turk's-Head are often carved in wood, ivory, bone, and stone.
		The knots are described in terms of the number of leads (complete turns around the cylinder) and bights (loops from edge to edge), and additionally by the number of times the path is completed.

	Knot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knots have been the subject of interest both for their ancient origins, common use, and the mathematical implications of knot theory.
		Some knots are well adapted to bind to particular objects such as another rope, cleat, ring, stake or to constrict an object.
		For example, loop knots share the attribute of having some kind of an anchor point constructed on the standing end (such as a loop or overhand knot) into which the working end is easily hitched to using a round turn.

	Turks Head - Fenn Technologies
		The Turks Head operates on the Rolling Mill principle and imparts the same qualities to the metal as the Rolling Mill does, namely, superior surface finish, accurate size and shape, and improved grain structure of the metal.
		It must be understood the Turks Head is not intended to be substitute for a Rolling Mill.
		The name Turks Head was in all probability applied to this particular metalworking machine because of a fancied resemblance between the decorative four-strand Turks Head knot and the four rolls of the machine.

		I would recommend that you keep tying a rope turks head till you know how to do it by heart because when you start trying to size one correctly for a grip there are other things that you need to pay attention to.
		I have found that for wire turk's heads for grips if you have 4'-6' of wire to start with that should be enough, but this will be determined by the diameter of your grip so that is just a loose estimate.
		I found that as long as the truk's head knot you have tied is in the right ballpark size you can shape a future grip to fit that turks head.
