It shows pretty good detail and it shows the traditional lacing as well as mexican braid and applique lacing as well. Here a link to it.

Gremlin Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Tandy also sells this one which is also very good for someone wanting the basics: Another Tandy book Authors to look for once you are ready are: Ron Edwards - clear illustrations and directions David Morgan - mostly whip making but very good Bruce Grant - the top of the heap but keep in mind his illustrations and instructions are a bit hard to follow Gail Hought (spelling?) - haven't had my AM coffee yet so I cannot be sure of the last name Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this one is as clear as the other. I have both of them. I show folks who take my lacing class both books and unanimously they choose the other. I haven't tried the other authors you mentioned though. Where would I find them? Marlon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
