Members ahimsacowgirl Posted July 1, 2011 Members Report Posted July 1, 2011 hi I am looking for a reference or any help on how to do the trenza patria braid ....I have been told that it is the braid in Bruce Grant's Enclyo. of braiding p. 260 but that does not look like it when I do that. I know there has to be a reference out there as many are using it, I just can't find it and no one I have contacted who knows how apparently wants to let others know how....so, if anyone would be so kind to point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I think some confusion might come in what is considered this braid style? I am looking for the flat braid style that ends up looking finished on both sides.....someone suggested also that it might be simply a 16 plait round or square braided without a core flattened out exampled pics ganked from the web or sent to me by a customer......not my work. anyone who could help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jen on pics...looking a flat part of bosal hanger (incredible isn't it?), flat part of "no ear" headstall, etc Quote J.

Members ahimsacowgirl Posted July 1, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 1, 2011 when I do the square braid of 8 thongs (flattened out) p. 260 B.G. encylopedia of braiding this is what I get ....(made a lanyard out of my scratch piece---not what I am looking for and then played with the paracord and made a set of reins) Quote J.

Members roo4u Posted July 1, 2011 Members Report Posted July 1, 2011 the braid on page 260 is the trenza...it takes a bit of practice...the main thing is to make sure you alternate over/under on each side. i dont see that in your pictures...perhaps if i get the time i will try to post a short tutorial...i hate when people are unwilling to help and share....

Members megabit Posted July 2, 2011 Members Report Posted July 2, 2011 At his workshop in Feb Nate showed us a version with 12 strings. I recall you set it up with 5 on one side and 7 on the other but can't quite recall how to do it. Maybe AggieBraider can remember and chime in? Quote
Members Aggiebraider Posted July 2, 2011 Members Report Posted July 2, 2011 Lol thats all I could remember too was that there was an uneven amount of strings in each hand. Want2braid wrote it down I believe so hopefully he can answer. If not we might have to call Nate lol Quote
