reins, bosal, and a bracelet

[KnotHead]

Nice work. I like the view better, thank you. I couldn't see any of the knots in the first post. I like what ya did there.

Hey all,

Denise, I have never kept track but it is possible that with the time spent scraping hair and flesh off to cutting the string, there is an equal split between string prep and braiding. I imagine that buying hides ready to cut into string would leave me ahead in time and money, but hell thats half the fun.

TeamRoper,

I used 3, 3/8 inch wide strpes of rawhide. It makes for a very nice feel to the bosal, firm not ridged.

Hey knothead,

Hope these pictures give you a better look.

Hey all,

Thank you for the kind words, everyones advice and encouragement here has done quite abit to help me along.

Casey,

This is how I mark bosals and hobbles. I cut it into the inside of the popper on the reins. Thought about getting a stamp but sweetie says this looks more personnal. Not sure myself, but for now it works.
