Melanie Wilfong Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Could someone give tips on shaping a bosal made from stiff 3 strand rope? I've read it's tricky shaping it. The nose & side buttons are complete. I haven't tied the heel knot yet. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiebraider Report post Posted August 16, 2011 You can make a shaping block, similar to a hat stretcher used in felt cowboy hats. If you have no woodworking skills like myself, it can be kind of difficult. My father in law actually made me a hat stretcher, so at some point Im going to try to get him to make me a bosal shaper, and if he does, I will let yall know.
