Members megabit Posted February 6, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 6, 2011 I've never done rawhide work before....Why do you boil the honda before putting the burner on? It makes the hide harder and stiffer, you don't want it closing up on your rope. Quote

Members megabit Posted July 25, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 25, 2011 How long do you boil the honda? Thanks. About a minute and a half. I get the water boiling real good before I put it in too. Quote
Members seveneves Posted August 17, 2011 Members Report Posted August 17, 2011 Great tutorial I've made several this week in prep for a ranch rodeo. I accidentally forgot one in the water for about 4-5 mintues. HOpefully it's not ruined. Seems fine though. Quote www.neveshorses.com

Members TexasLady Posted July 11, 2015 Members Report Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Love it! Thanks for showing us how to make something "authentic" and useful. Edited July 11, 2015 by TexasLady Quote
Members megabit Posted July 14, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 14, 2015 How thick are the strings? 1/8"? That sounds more or less about right. I generally split the hide down to about the thinnest part to make it more or less even. If it had a real thin part I wouldn't go down that far and would likely not use the thin parts. Quote
