Sort of a slow week, put these out so far. A 44" Rifle Sling with a Fox carved on it, a Banjo Strap, and two wallets, one I'd already posted. Thanks for looking.

It is a one over, one under braid, but it's done with two pieces of lace not one. Pretty easy once you get the gist of it., two rows of holes (there must be an even number), Start the first lace in the top holes centering the lace then skipping every other hole until to finish at the next to the last hole, you skip one, then cross the laces underneath to go to the next set of holes, stay consistent either left over right or right over left, at the next to the last hole bring the ends accross and glue them together underneath. Then repeat this with another piece of lace starting in the 2nd hole down and finishing the same way in the last hole, this lace will create the one over one under effect. Try it on some scrap, I do this technique on belts sometimes, it looks pretty good.

Hope that helps,

Chief

The rifle sling is done with Eco Flo Medium Brown Antique Gel, the Banjo strap and the plain wallet are with Fiebings British tan (cut 2 parts dye to 1 part thinner), and the applique wallet was done with Fiebings Light Brown (Cut 2 parts dye to 1 part thinner)

Sorry I didn't answer your request sooner, I missed it somehow.
