Core For Braiding

[Jin w]

Hi Guy's.

I'm trying to braid dog leash for my first braiding project, and was wondering where do you get your core and what type of core do you use.

Thank you.

I use different cores for different sizes of dogs. The toy and mini type dogs I use just the 550 cord as a core. Anything medium to large scale dogs I will usually braid a 4 strand round core out of some scrap kangaroo with each of those strands cut to about 3/8th to 5/8th inches in width for added strength.

I did a leash for my wife and used 550 cord for the core. My dog is fairly good sized but I don't think he will be breaking the leash. Oh did I mention I covered the core with 8 strands of rawhide, I think my hand would come off before the leash broke.

I don't think I ever posted any pictures of the leash, I'll have to see about taking some pics to put up here.
