Members rawhider Posted December 21, 2007 Members Report Posted December 21, 2007 I just finished these for the wife for Christmas. It's kind of step by step. I didn't have any tracing paper, so I drew it on some heavy construction paper, then cut it out and free handed the inside of the pattern on the leather. Quote

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted December 21, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted December 21, 2007 rawhider, don't get me wrong or anything, but I'm at a bit of a loss here. "Slobber" straps, for your wife? What's a slobber strap?, my thinking is going way out in left field on this one. They do look very nice though.

Moderator Johanna Posted December 21, 2007 Moderator Report Posted December 21, 2007 Not being a horse person, this thread alarmed me. I was picturing Mrs. Rawhider drooling with leather binding her chin- not a pretty mental image...but thank goodness for Google. Slobber straps keep the horse's reins out of the trough. Whew. Very nice, and thank you for sharing. Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted December 21, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted December 21, 2007 Thanks Johanna, my mental picture was about the same as yours. Glad we got that straightened out. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather

Kevin King Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 They are very nice. But why does your wife drink out of a trough? :biggrin: Quote The second kick from a jackass is of no educational value. Official Freak Fan Club President FACEBOOK kevinkingleather.com

yaklady Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 That's kind of like a head stall for non-horse people. My boss couldn't figure that one out. He decided a head stall must be a brain fart! Quote All bad yaks make their way to the freezer.
