  10. You have two rows of stiching on the bottom and 1 on the top , which i like ,,, but your feture piece is the snake print which is off set to the top up against a line that makes it look too off set !!!! thats only my opinion mate ,,, but nice work all the same , I know pictures seem to show a little , some times alot more than the eye does see !!! How did you do your edgers ??? Spinner from this forum has a great little tool that I am sure you will want one if you dont have one already !! Thanks for posting Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com

    Buttons

    Gday all , good subject !!! I use a brass needle that the leather screws into the end and I tie my buttons /knots straight onto the job , I try to keep an even amout of tention as I form my knot towards the end the knot gets very tight , but out of habit I will see if I can get it any tighter with my fib , then roll it and cut With my nosebuttons on my bosals 32 strand , 4 strings 8 bite then interweave , I have not had to retighten one yet because as I said I try to keep even tention and as you form the knot it becomes very tight So I dont know what the answer is but sometimes I do have to sometimes I dont and sometimes I just do out of HABIT !!!!! It might just have to be up to you !!! Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com

  15. Gday mate I agree with Chris , if you just take a beez dick off your lace and leave the foundation the same I am sure you will get it spot on Also were your black string is covered have a good look , from what I think I can see you have gone over 2 ,under 2, over 1 under 3 ??? over 2 that is in your first picture of your long button from the left hand side !! then i think it looks like you have gone over three with your black string on the right hand side Not sure because I do need glasses Please let me know , I will get some tomorrow Bevan
  16. When I do twisted cores I store them on a piece of PVC pipe which i cap to keep the moisture out , yes they will stand in the corner because they are on the very stiff side ,,, Plaited ones I lay flat because they are very flexable Depending at what stage your horse is , depends on what stiffness bosal you need ,, my boy is just as good in a rope holter or using his mane for brakes and my inner thigh for direction At the end of the day its not about the looks or $ to me its about the horse !!! Cheers mate I hope this helps, if you want any more info that i hav'nt given you just email my at bevenis@hotmail.com and i will try and send you more info and pics on the stretcher and rat shits !!!! rachets, there ya go 4t4 www.bwrwhips.com
  17. Gday Aggie for my twisted cores i just cut a 1 inch strip with a straight edge and stanley knife then twist &stretch ,THIS COMES FROM THE BACK ,I split it to the thinnest that the hide is , just to make it all the same ,, with my plaited cores ,,, depending on what i want, i will cut 4 strings stretch ,bevell resize then split with my beveler/ resizer tool, they seem to come out very even and round with the 4 plait , with the 1inch strip i still split it but i will have to do a bit of sanding to get it even ,(you can buy this tool at any hardware store for stuff all ) Sorry i hav'nt had a chat for awhile but hopefully i will get back in to the swing of things soon Cheers mate www.bwrwhips.com , The rat shits r only to stop it from unwinding I only apply hand press
