Members Aggiebraider Posted January 26, 2011 Members Report Posted January 26, 2011 Very nice work. Couple of questions though. How do you do the foundations for your turnback buttons? When I splice the ends back in and cut a nice long taper on the core, I cant get the taper to end up smooth on both sides. Invariably one side sticks out more than the other. Where do you get your hides and do you cut your own lace? Im sure you do, because the strings look great. Thanks, CW Quote
Members Amanda Powell Posted January 26, 2011 Members Report Posted January 26, 2011 Wow. I *love* that headstall. Quote

Thanks, CW I splice the strings back under 2 over 2 after trimming the core off flush at the end. I ususally use a piece of firm leather as a base that can be shaped with a razor. when i can I use fresh hide but when I don't have time to work up a hide I get them from Tejas industries in full sides and cut from there.
