rgerbitz Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Wow Mike that's very nice head gear. What did you use to darken your strings with. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawhide1 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks Rob This will probably gross some out. But it's darkened with redman (golden blend) chewing tobacco. I think ya can also use coffee or tea to achieve the same color. But it may not taste as good while you chew it. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Thanks for the tip Mike, now I have a good reason to take up tobacco again, I've been looking for one. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rawhider Report post Posted December 7, 2008 Looks good Mike! I noticed in one of the pics, you have coils of rawhide hangin up. Do you make oyu own, or do you purchace pre-cut strings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArtS Report post Posted December 7, 2008 Holy cow - that is really spectacular work! Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawhide1 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 rawhider Thanks I was ordering it precut and then cutting it to the width I need. When I start back to braiding I'll order a side. I haven't got around to making my own rawhide yet but it's on the list. Arts Thanks I'm glad ya liked it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rawhide1 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 Deb59 Thank you I generally don't have very much patience. But for some weird reason I have a lot when I'm braiding. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
