Romal

[Likla]

I have just finished a leather romal.

That sure is a unique set! I wouldn't have the patience to sit down that long. Hats off to you!

[lonesome dove]

That is a work of art! Beautiful!

[Rohn]

That is very beautiful. You do really nice work!

[Likla]

Thank you.

[bland]

That is beautiful. That needs to be attached to a custom spade bit.

Really nice! You have achieved the level most strive for. Professional.

very nice, I would offer one observation from experience. On the first ones that I did I worked hard to get the ends of the long buttons squared up like yours and then found that they were more susceptible to wear and catching on things so I quit trying to be different and started making those long buttons tapered like everyone else with much better results. But I can testify that it is harder to get them neatly squared than tapered.

Thank you oltoot.

I bought Grant's book 20+ years ago and started to teach my selv the mystery of braiding.

It was difficult, but I learned it by try and error.

I didnt know about tapering knots with electrical tape before i saw it on this site.

I sometimes have been using thin leatherstraps.

I will try it the next time and I see your point in why to do it.
