Kim from Ploeg Technieken, the originators of the cloverleaf lashing, has these two examples for a 5 way and 4 way polypod:

This is very helpful! I was indeed wondering how that wonderful swirl of wood (in the earlier picture) was created.
Ploeg Technieken is intriguing and informative enough that I think I should learn Dutch just to get the most out of it. A very inventive group!
Cool!
Our June outing is 'Pioneering' and I hope to teach this new (for us) lashing to a few scouts so they can pass it on.
