Byzantine
Overview
Recently I found a great tutorial by Kateryne on M.A.I.L. that shows how to create the Byzantine weave. Byzantine is one of my favorite weaves and a wonderfully begginner friendly weave of the European family. I highly recomend trying this yourself if you are interested.
Materials
The rings used for this peice are 14 SWG with a 1/4” ID for an AR of 3.13 made of Bright Aluminum that I bought from the Ring Lord.
Notes
Byzantine is a very good design to learn for beginners as it is very simple and there are many intersting variatons on it.
Byzantine is so simple and easy that there aren’t really any helpful tricks to learn about making it.
For this post I made a sample length of byzantine chain. The rings used are outside the recomended range to use for making byzantine however the end result is a fairly stiff weave; which certain projects may require.
Final Product
Below are images of the sample length of chain I made:
