Members rgerbitz Posted December 22, 2007 Members Report Posted December 22, 2007 Thank you for your support On the fourth and final attempt I have a passable nose button. Thought I might show you all how it went. I used Bryan Neuberts' multiple string method. I would be most appreciative of any critizism.

HorsehairBraider Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Great! You got it! Fourth time's the charm, eh? It looks good... Is that leather, or rawhide? It looks like leather but it can be hard to tell in a photo. Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.

Members rawhide1 Posted December 22, 2007 Members Report Posted December 22, 2007 Although I've never built a bosal I think it looks great. And the other pieces ya showed looked good. I really think the the only way to improve on the nosebutton would be to use smaller strings but thats just my own taste. Keep up the good work. Mike Quote

Members CharlieR Posted December 22, 2007 Members Report Posted December 22, 2007 Looking good---is that a stained rawhide? Quote
Members rgerbitz Posted December 22, 2007 Author Members Report Posted December 22, 2007 The brown rawhide was actually an accident, I'm not entirely sure how I got it that color. It took about 2 weeks of soaking before the hair slipped off of that hide. I had used a pelleted lime in the water that had a brown tinge to it I think that is why it turned so brown. Its that or when I got that hide it was the middle of march last year and the hide had a lot of manure caked on it I couldn't get any of it off so it went in with hide. So it is possible that the whole hide is poo stained. Quote http://gerbitzquarterhorses.com/
Members Alan Bell Posted December 23, 2007 Members Report Posted December 23, 2007 Hey Rob, Great job. I looks pretty good. I thought I'd mention that if you check the TCAA website.
