Members rawhide1 Posted October 22, 2008 Members Report Posted October 22, 2008 Here is a headstall I just finished. Let me know what ya think good or bad. Thanks ,Mike Quote
Members rgerbitz Posted October 23, 2008 Members Report Posted October 23, 2008 Wow Mike that's very nice head gear. What did you use to darken your strings with. Rob Quote http://gerbitzquarterhorses.com/
Members rawhide1 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks Rob This will probably gross some out. But it's darkened with redman (golden blend) chewing tobacco. I think ya can also use coffee or tea to achieve the same color. But it may not taste as good while you chew it. Mike Quote

Members entiendo Posted October 24, 2008 Members Report Posted October 24, 2008 Absolutely lovely! Speechless. I've actually never seen rawhide gear I've liked so much. Quote
Members rawhide1 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 24, 2008 entiendo Thank you and I'm glad ya like it. Mike Quote
Members rawhider Posted December 7, 2008 Members Report Posted December 7, 2008 Looks good Mike! I noticed in one of the pics, you have coils of rawhide hangin up. Do you make oyu own, or do you purchace pre-cut strings? Quote

Members rawhide1 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2008 rawhider Thanks I was ordering it precut and then cutting it to the width I need. When I start back to braiding I'll order a side. I haven't got around to making my own rawhide yet but it's on the list. Arts Thanks I'm glad ya liked it. Quote
hidepounder Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Mike...that's beautiful work! Really nice! Bob Quote

Members rawhide1 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 8, 2008 Deb59 Thank you I generally don't have very much patience. But for some weird reason I have a lot when I'm braiding. Mike Quote
