Another important thing is make right, So I dedicate a minimum of six hours each knot. To make it perfect. strands: I make a bevel 45 degree, after splitter after bevel 30 degree after again splitter. soap: I usually do a mixture of oil ox and glicerin soap and wallnut oil, also sometimes ad to the mix cow fat. http://www.secretosdelcuero.blogspot.com

well, for my technique use to a variety of diferent materials of ecological origen always. ( bone, wood, wool grease....), not is only braiding. Almost of my braids are made with spnanish horsehide, also make little cowhide, snake, ostrich, and kangaroo. mix different techniques of saddle maker.... and use 3 cutter splitter diferent, and 3 cutter beveler different. depending of the job. don´t cut the skin in a circle, cut with scissor, but using them as blade like a tailor. and use strings of 1 oz and 1/22 inch for the knot and 1 oz 1/20 inch, 1/10inch for the braid....

to give heat to the braid. To leave some hours near to fireplace or under sun in the summer. But the sun the shadows a bit. Also the strings have to be very very slim. 1 oz is right

awesome work.

hello stormdrame, I like your work, wiht round rope leather.

you need one elastic leather, for example cow hide oil tanned, goat or little horse hide. the kangaroo is to much strong and not possible this way. Also need water mold, as the technique of leather mask, this part is more boring but more artistic, to tigthen the braid. In summary this is the technique: 1- two braid 8 strand box.... 2- sewn two side. 3- water mold. 4- heat.

well, this braid only is two braid of 8 strands, box pattern, sewn in the the middle in two sides, by argentine technique. it´s very simple and easy. zig-zag sewing. all begginer should know. it the very nice and elegant technique of all braider of Argentina.
