sfDuck Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I remembered seeing a twist a while back that looked exactly like the head of a stalk of wheat, ............but I can't find it here or on line. So I was wondering does anyone know how to do it or find the BP on it. Thanks fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecelticforge Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Pineapple twist perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfDuck Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't think so, BUT...........I'll look I could be wrong or seldom right; whatever is left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Bob - The ones I've seen have 2 twists placed side by side - each are twisted a different direction. - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
