carr52 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 It took me a while but I'm happy with the result I got with this last practice plait. I skived the edges and rolled it between two boards after I plaited it. I stained it just to show the result. Well that and to cover up the dirt I got on it by rolling it on the back deck. I'll use a cleaner board for the real thing. I got some paracord so I can practice plaiting and dropping strands as I go to get it down to 4 strands at the end. Paracord is a lot cheaper than leather to practice with.

One of the hardest things for me was skiving all the edges so the finished plaid would round out better. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
