Crocodile Ridge

[Dwing8]

Hi,

I've been thinking about trying a crocodile ridge braid like 10 string with a double backbone in two colors. Is it possible to keep the ridge all the same color?

Thanks,Dano

i have done a croc with a second color that remains in the center but it comes out in a two tone color because you must work in the stands from the outer part of the braid. It is described in bruce grants encyclopedia

Ron Edwards "Advanced Leather Work Vol 1" Interesting Braids And Flat Plaits, covers just about every aspect of

Croc ridges including the "applied" type that will do anything you could want.

See Ramskull Press for the source for this book if you don't have it.

Thanks for the replies, I had an idea of doing two 5 string flat braids and then joined them together with a double loop lace like I do a wallet edge with some plain cotton cord and it came out looking pretty good. I'll do one for real and try to learn the better way in the near future. I'm kind of busy at the moment with a bathroom.......LOL.

Thanks again!
