Members KnotHead Posted February 15, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2011 The flat braid. I am so sorry for not fixing this earlier. But in the interest of all braiders, I would like to correct that statement. In all actuality that braid is suppose to be a rectangular braid producing a boxed look, or on the sides a 3 strand braided look. Mine are not like that. But I have since found literature in a couple of Argentine books and within the Encyclopedia of Rawhide Braiding. I also have found out how to accomplish this braid by accident. LOL... I will take a few snaps of the braid I am working on when I finish it and if it looks good I will post it here. This technique of braiding was done by other braiders. The first publication that I could locate was in 1921 by an Argentine braider. I have only found 2 other Argentine books that have this technique in it. Both describe the same methods. As well, I found the technique listed in the Encyclopedia of Rawhide Braiding. There was not much in the way of information. But gave a pretty good description of how to do this technique. Brian...

Members Bevan Posted February 15, 2011 Members Report Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I got an order for these ones. Just about blew me out of the chair when I got the order. LOL... But here are two key fobs and I have one more item to make and the order is done. Then package it up and send it off. Brian... Now they do look nice mate , and yes , every time I get a close up pic of my work I to do find faults but this helps me to better myself and correct what ever is wrong ,,, I would not pull it tighter but you could roll it again or cut a very thin lace and do 1 more interweave , that would look very spoofy ,,, You have done very well Brian you should be very proud of yourself , those roo hides are in very good hands ! well done mate Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com Edited February 15, 2011 by Bevan Quote

Members KnotHead Posted February 15, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2011 Thank you Bevan for that idea. I was considering what you were talking about and thought it might not work out so well. But I will give it a try out. Thank you Arno for your generous comment. Brian...
