Multiphase weaving strips for locked crossings

If all weave crossings will be locked at the same angle, the same notch pattern can be repeated with high frequency along the length of the weavers. The wavelength can be an integer divisor of the width of one crossing, for example, in the photo and the diagram below, the repetition wavelength is 1/2 the width of one locked, 90° crossing.

This allows a variety of shapes to be made with the same set of notched weaving strips since the distance between successive crossings can be adjusted to any integer number of wavelengths. On the other hand, if the strips are custom notched, any angle and spacing of crossing can be accomodated, but the strips may only be useful for the intended construction.
