The small 16L x 3B Turk's heads are pretty quick/simple to do ... it's the 27L x 10B's I tie around water bottles that can really nut you up if you're not careful! I haven't tried leather ... I like the paracord because after the knot is done, you can shrink it in hot water which will really tighten it up.

16L x 3B means the strings cross 16 times down the length of the knot and 3 times around the knot. A large "L" number makes a long knot, a larger "B" number is required when the object you're tieing around gets larger.
Some other stuff I've tied Turk's Heads on ...

That's awesome. Maybe I'll practive on some other things then do it in the truck. Right at the top of my steering wheel, I guess my watch rubbed against it too much, or scratched it good. There is a little worn spot appeard this week. It flaked off a piece of the leather. It's not really noticeable, but I'd rather cover it up so it doesn't spread. I don't really want a steering wheel cover, but I think one of those knots will look pretty cool on there.
So if I wanted to make the size of your grab handle, about how many feet of cord is that? Where is a good place to purchase paracord?
