Members bland Posted October 5, 2015 Members Report Posted October 5, 2015 That is beautiful. That needs to be attached to a custom spade bit. Quote

Members oltoot Posted October 6, 2015 Members Report Posted October 6, 2015 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. Quote
Members Likla Posted October 6, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 6, 2015 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. Quote
