Repair Of A Riding Crop

[gesa]

Hello,

last week I restored/repaired an antique riding crop. It was the first time hat I was asked for, so I took a lot of pictures to remember how it was made.

First the damaged parts

The flap and the button with the braided loop

The braided loop was a "mystery braid"

I replaced the loop with a 4 strand braid, because my lace was slightly smaller

The finished crop. The white stuff at the button is a bit of glue to secure the lace.
