Members megabit Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 Man, those are nice. The more I try to braid the more I wonder if I will ever get any good at it. I would love to have a nice set of romel reins like those. Very nice work indeed. Mike Quote
Members rawhide1 Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 KAW Once again wonderful work!!! The way ya done your connecter strap is pretty cool as is the way ya do the popper. Great work, Great pictures. One can only hope to reach that level one day. Thanks for sharing your work. Mike Quote
Members Warren Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 Kaw that is probably the best bosal I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic! I'm not saying the reins aren't great too, it's just that the bosal really knocks my socks off! Great work! Warren Quote
Members skip Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 very nice work, your knots look very precise and professional. is this a set you are selling or did you make it to use for your own pleasure? again great work where did you learn to braid like this. keep the pictures coming.

TracyMoss Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Braiding rawhide intricately is a talent very few have. Congratulate yourself on a job welll done. Once I get past braiding rings, my braiding goes south. I jsut don't have the time or ability it seems to learn. Quote
Members rgerbitz Posted February 29, 2008 Members Report Posted February 29, 2008 Thank you for putting those pictures up KAW. That is some gear anyone would be proud to have and use. What did you use for a core on the bosal? Rob Quote http://gerbitzquarterhorses.com/
Members KAW Posted February 29, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks for the comments Skip, I taugt my self out of Robert Woolerys book and Bruce Grants books, those were the only books at that time , lookin at old worn out gear and I wanted to make my own gear, because I didn't like alot of the stuff out there, so I made them myself. Now there is getting to be alot of books and videos out there. The best way to learn is to cut up alot of hides and ruin alot of projects till you get something that works right for you, using it your self will help alot. I sell everything I make anymore. Rgerbitz, All my bosals have rawhide cores. Quote
