I used an old Green towel when i did thatching for some Japanese peasant houses years ago.  I found i made less mess and it was easier as well.

Your welcome.  Glad I can be of  service, everyone.

 Lord knows, I get plenty of tips, research, and inspiration from LAF, so anything I can do to give back feels good.

Now show me your thatching, and I'll show you mine!  (that doesn't sound so good, does it?   :? )

I'm not all bad (to quote Malcom McDowell, one of my favorites)  ;)

For clipped, regular thatch the towel method is streets ahead in terms of ease and authenticity. Great article for the compare and contrast aspect and there's some other really good stuff on that site too.  Thanks Smokey.
