it looks just like the front, only when using leather or rawhide it is the flesh side on the back. in that picture of the no ear headstall you can just see the back of the braid in the long piece that is shown going down the middle of the headstall. i have pictures for a tutorial, i will try to get it up this evening sometime.

I had to go back to your very first post myself. But I really think that in your original post that the below link in reference to my earlier post is what you are looking for, or looking to do.

Trenza De Doce

Of course I am now also a bit perplexed as to what actual braid or plait you are looking to do.

the one ear bridles is a pic someone sen me -- they want that bridle duplicated...then someone else told me that they were made with trenza patria ..myae it s NOT trenza patria at all.....but that was what I was after originally....lol....it definitely has the thicker edge as described here.....this one ...it looks like the finished edge is showing on both sides...maybe it is not on the back and just looks that way

I think that the only difference in the photo you just posted and the one I braided is the strings are wider, which makes the braid wider. But it does appear to have the finished look on both sides.

i think what you guys are seeing is that the headstall is laid out for a pretty picture...so therefore they placed it finished side up but really if you look at the straight piece that is down the middle of the headstall you can clearly see that is the flesh side. slightly different color and no shiny finish on it.......that piece is set on edge to show the double edge of the braid.

if you look at some of the braiding from south america they use the trenza patria alot and it can be seen in many widths....more and/or wider strings for wider braids.

Is it possible to have the person send you that bridle for duplication? That sure would make things a little easier for you.

I'm taking on my very own project. My very first set of hobbles and the customer wants the braid flat and detailed...I'm going to try Knotheads rectangular braid. I think it's a stunning braid. I'm going to start with 12 strands 1/16' but when I make the hobbles I'm going to use more strings, if I get the braid right that is. Not sure how many, we'll see how many I can keep up with.

Knothead, Is that braided..finished on both sides?
