Do any of you knotters and riggers use a serving mallet? Here's a link that will explain 'worming' and 'serving' and pictures the tool called a serving mallet: http://www.schoonerman.com/sailingterms/serving-worming.htm.
The tool was developed in the days of sailing ships and was used to protect ropes, sheets, and bends.
