Tanthathide9 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Just got my first hide done and ready to cut strings, what's the typical thickness of strings for a quirt and typical core size? I have grants book but just wanted some personal opinions..also what type of cores have been used and what are best? All advice is welcomed please thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megabit Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I did one with a core of rawhide scraps bound together in a taper wet and hung with a weight to stretch and dry. It turned out ok. Personally I’d go fairly thick on your body string as a quirt should hold up to some abuse, unless you are making something to hang on a wall (in which case why bother ).
