Show Leads - Cores And Stretching


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty happy with the show leads I have been making, but always looking to improve. Currently, I actually tie the core at the ends. This is working out, they don't stretch or break, and I can get things pretty smooth and generally put a leather knot over the knotted core to hide any lumpiness. But I am just wondering if that is necessary - if I just tucked the core back through the braid a few inches without knotting, would that diminish the strength and/or allow more stretching?
