Canvas wagon tops were an effective barrier from the elements for both the pioneers as well as the trail cook on the cattle drives. Although the style of knots were probably varied, this simple climbing half hitch is easy to tie and easily untied as well. These are the steps I take when sewing these original style canvas wagon tops. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles is what I focus on here, trying to demonstrate the job of the wheelwright, blacksmith, upholsterer, painter and striper, while I work on traditional carriages, wagons, coaches and buggies.
