I think you're already there my friend. You're putting knots around a shape I have not tried yet. I don't exactly have a way to get some horns like that. LOL...

Thanks again, Brian. The antlers wee sent to me by a silversmith in Texas I do a little braiding for. As far as braiding around them, I braided the knots on a mandrel and then slid it onto the antlers and tightened it. Makes life much easier. Especially when you use the pins in the mandrel. I had to rebraid the long buttons enough times I finally "got it" and they make sense to me.

Thanks All,

After teh learning curve on teh long button, they were actually fun to do. I need to do more braiding like this. After so many attempts, I finally "got it" and the process of braiding the buttons is sinking in.
