Quirt

[KAW]

Heres a fancy 24 strand Quirt with fancy interweaves of coffee dyed strings.

Oh my goodness, that is beautiful...I'm making my first quirk/shoo fly combo and I'm feeling a little inadequate.....

Hey that's some awesome work - really nice! I find it very inspiring.

And coffee - it's not just to drink anymore...

Absolutely beautiful. I am in envy. I would love to be able to do this. I braid and tie knots using kangaroo but have not done anything in rawhide. Since I can't sit down beside someone who knows what they are doing and follow along I will have to pick out a very simple project and hack it out alone. Very impressive work. I would like to know how long you have been braiding rawhide.

HOLY SMOKE, that is amazing work!

Thanks for the comments all.

Pepelimoco this year is 20 years, and you learn alot more by doing it yourself (at least I do).

KAW,

I was admiring your quirt again and was wondering what thickness are the strings that were used on the main body of the quirt, what angle are they beveled on and did you bevel all 4 corners? Thank you again for sharing.

rgerbitz,

Most of the time I cut the thickness 1/3 the width , my bevel is under 45 degrees and I bevel all 4 corners most of the time, I like heavier main braids so they stand up.

Very nice! I have never seen a popper put on like that, very neat.

Could you post a picture of the popper ? I make a lot of poppers for one customer, but they all attach the same as the old way.

Nice job!
