1St Hide Dry Ash Method

I have seen a few rawhide whips that are very nice. I have braided roo and latigo whips but not tried rawhide yet. You guys are such an inspriation. I have to get after braidign more rawhide. Going to pass on all the little repair projects and cell phone cases and such that all they do is eat up time and energy. Can't make money on them anyway.

As a side note, I'm going to encourage all of you to consider making a rawhide item for the World Leather Debut for the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade show next May in Sheridan, Wyoming. They only had two items last year and I know the judge. He "yelled" at me for not entering something. I'll have an entry next time. I would also like to invite all of you to attend the trade show. I usually teach a braiding workshop and will again in 2014 if i can. I believe we need to make a showing of the braiding arts.

Thanks

Thanks Joe, I would think rawhide would be good. It would have more life than leather, not sure if that's good or bad. Since you mentioned the World Leather Debut a while back I've been considering planning a trip around it. I'll keep you posted. Buck

Sounds great. If you make a trip there, I can introduce you to the people you need to know and possibly the ones you don't. It is always a great time there.
