Been away awhile.
Here's a set of split reins I made for a client. Cut the strings from a 'roo hide and did the skiving and beveling. 8 plait Herringbone braid with leather belting core.
The white 'roo interlacing I got from Packer.

Beautiful work, looks almost too nice to use :-) I bet the customer is proud as a peacock when he/she is using them.

Very nice.  That probably took a month of Sundays to braid.

Congratulations on completing the set!
Very nice work.

years ago I braided a set of reins and romal. They are pictured somewhere in the braiding section.

the satisfaction of using equipment you make yourself is beyond satisfying.

Just in case you’re curious, here’s mine.
