Members Myriam Posted April 14, 2008 Members Report Posted April 14, 2008 First time I hear about string sticks. What are they used for? Quote Myriam Myriam's Leather Work Dakota Braiding and Leatherwork
Elton Joorisity Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 They are used to tighten saddle strings when you bleed the knots in. Some guys swear by them and some just plain don't Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
Members Myriam Posted April 15, 2008 Members Report Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks, Elton. It does bring up another question. What does "bleed the knots in" mean? Quote Myriam Myriam's Leather Work Dakota Braiding and Leatherwork
Elton Joorisity Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Posted April 15, 2008 The slit style braid on saddle strings is commonly known as bleeding or a bleed knot Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
Members Myriam Posted April 15, 2008 Members Report Posted April 15, 2008 Ah, now I understand. Thanks again, Elton! Quote Myriam Myriam's Leather Work Dakota Braiding and Leatherwork
