The timber hitch is used to secure a rope round a post or any cylindrical object. It is also known as Bowyer’s Knot owing to its use in attaching the end of the bowstring to a longbow.
Its main use lies in handling cargo. It is also helpful for towing a log or a spar in water or on land.
It is used by arborists and lumbermen to attach ropes to branches, tree trunks and logs. You can also use it to connect the strings of the guitar and ukulele to their bridges.

Pass the end of the rope around the pole and then around the standing end. Wrap the end around itself three times and tighten the knot so that the three turns are gripped against the pole.
