After 5 loops (6" long") are made you begin a sheepshank but complete an overhand knot by placing the end of the cord through all five loops and pull tight. Repeat at other end. . The source for the sling is "Whittlin', Whistles and Thingamagigs" ISBN 0-8117-1882-2. Tony

That's pretty neat. It's easy to make in the field, too.
