WOW! I love these. Any chance you would share how they are made?

How they are made is an involved process too complicated to explain in detail in a short space. I'll just say that they are packed tight with BBs and are quite heavy. They take many hours to make and are not cheap. They ARE really cool and of all the ones I've made I've only let a couple go.

Perhaps a share on how you tuck the braid In at the of the chuck?

When I get to the end I make a U-turn by going over one and then under, over and under in the other direction following the original weave. On the last tuck under I don't pull the thong all the way through but leave a little loop. I apply some Fiebing's Leathercraft Cement (white) to the top and bottom of the loop with a toothpick. Then I pull it the rest of the way through, wipe up the extra glue and snip off the working end.

I know that's a lousy explanation but I don't know how else to say it. Hope it makes sense.
