2palominos1bay Report post Posted December 30, 2012 I recently covered a pair of oxbows with a beautifully, thick buffalo rawhide. I had a problem when lacing the sides. Things lookd really nice but i was troubled with one stirrup since the rawhide had dried enough at the bolt that I was worried the bolt and nut were getting some pressure as I worked the drying rawhide into a nicely formed appearance and laced. Nice looking or not, the nut did pop off and this seems a bit too rookie to have happen again with the next two pairs planned for starting tomorrow. (Don't we all work on NewYears?) Any specific remarks on lacing rawhide at that tab which folded over around the bolt for better resuls is greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if the hole for the nut was the wrong size for the job.
