Stuff like that is my ultimate goal! Do you make your own rawhide or order it? Do you use anything besides good technique, rolling or a stick to make the buttons uniform in girth?

Nice work Leatherpounder what did you use as a finish. The headstalls look nice as well.

I bought this hide because I haven't had time to work any fresh hides. A good base with uniform string thickness and width are the main thing. If your bases are even then the cover knot should be even.

Skidmores Beeswax waterproofing. A little goes a long way.

:You_Rock_Emoticon: Looks amazing.

Can I ask you a question?

I noticed the real smooth transition from your loops.

Can you explain how you do that?

Thanks,

Erik

I braid back the ends and let dry. Then you can wrap with string and roll smooth.

I have to master the "back braid".

Any good literature on that?

Have a nice weekend.
