I usually use the latigo lace for making the loops
I have no set position or distance on the stick to place the loop
as different sticks are diferent lengths
I just stand and have the stick in my hand
and where my my hand is confortable
I drill a hole just below that
I have no set length that the loop will be
just what ever I have available but big enough for my hand to slip through the loop and around the stick confortably
I bought a bunch of different loop latigo at a tack shop in a bag
really cheap that way
have also bought at
wal mart in the craft section and at hobbly lobby
last I bought was $4 for 4 yards
check your local feed and seed or farm supply

Thanks Wayne, I should have thought about Wal Mart, they have almost every thing in stock.
