Beckets are the style of handle that was used on sailors sea chests. Like bell ropes, beckets are made using traditional tools, materials and methods. Beckets and their variations can be used on your own sea chest project, in a variety furniture applications, or purely as an example of sculptural fiber art. Tim Whitten's beckets are the finest available today. Becket pricing starts at $250 for a pair. Additional elements, plus higher degrees of resolution in the weaving techniques employed increase the price. Pictured below are the currently featured beckets available for purchase. Other styles may currently be available from inventory. Please email, tim@marlinEspike.com if you are interested in purchasing a set of beckets.
