Alberta Bound Report post Posted October 3, 2010 I've been thinking of ordering that book. Are there many close-up pictures of his work? Is it more of a biography or more about his braiding? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacotranch Report post Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) yes alot of good photos , there are no secrets reveled , this is not a how to book , more of a why do it book . one theme that gets repeating is the use of proper sized strings for their porpose and proper beveling of strings, 2 things that seem to get overlooked alot theese days in my opinion .

D.A. Kabatoff Report post Posted October 4, 2010 I just finished reading the book as well and really enjoyed it as well. Great photos and as John mentioned, it's not meant to be a "how to" book. Some interesting California history in the first two chapters. I haven't seen the soft cover version but the hardcover is a beautifully produced book.

bullwhips Report post Posted October 4, 2010 I think there are a couple secrets in the book that come out here and there...not much, but to the novice rawhide braider (like me) there was some good information. Also I love biography's so for me it was a good read...and the pictures are amazing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
