Linking Methods Of Leather

[Linking Methods Of Leather]

My name is Lars Fjetland and I am currently a student at Bergen National Academy of the Arts in Norway.

I am working on a project which evolves around the history of leather craft.

I am especially interested in the linking methods of leather (pictures attached)

I am trying to find out more about how this is done, and for how long this has been done.

Has this anything to do with native (Inuit, Sami, Native American) skills or techniques?

I would be eternally grateful if you could help me answer some of these questions!<

[Kangaroo Lace Over Cedar Bangle]

Looks amazing!

This is my first finished project using kangaroo lace. I soaped the lace before starting - do I need to apply some type of protective coating now? Also, I used a turkshead to cover the start/end joint but was disapointed that is didn't tighten up as well as I would have liked. How do you determine which turkshead to use to ensure coverage etc... Thank you for any suggestions/advice.
