Not a chance on that one 😄We are in the southern part of Norway, and it is bitterly cold here at the moment. Plus there is some incredibly bad weather in the North Sea at the moment, so we have been told to just stay put in the harbour until the sea calms down a bit and we can deliver supplies to the platforms again. 

On your triple stitched halters, the edges looked fantastic. Did you only use beeswax and heated edge irons on those, or also hide glue?

It sound like a very interesting experiment to use hide glue, but I think that I would be afraid that it would be sort of delicate and not handle rain too well? 

 

I've been to Bergen.  Flew into Oslo and took a train to Bergen where I spent 2 days before we boarded a ferry for a scientific conference in a beautiful fijord setting.  The conference honored a well known (to us) deceased Norweigan scientist who had trained a legion of scientists in the field of DNA repair.

The hide glue produces good results with less work (no sanding once the edges are leveled).  The edge readily accepts wax or acrylic finishes that I am testing out for a weatherproof finish.

Great work Jonas!  I have one more possibility, although it probably doesn't matter.  I was wondering if the previous owner may have needed the assistance of a right leg brace.  This from a guy who wore one for a while.  I didn't ride a horse with one though.  While I agree it would be confusing to a "well trained horse", some of those therapy horses seem to sift through indications to find intent.  As usual, JM2C.  Jim
