DoubleC Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Do you mean laced or braided taps? I have a Bruce Grant book and I think that man could make a house out of rawhide, but he doesn't have rawhide taps in it. He has attaching the taps with rawhide, but the taps are made out of regular leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chapper Report post Posted July 9, 2012 You would use a bulldog tap pattern, just use rawhide instead of skirting or sole bends. With the rawhide, you will need to use something to hold the shape while they dry. Some old timers carved a wooden form, or they stuffed them with sand while they dry.
