Admin Report post Posted June 25, 2006 Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding by Bruce Grant has been an invaluable resource for me. What do you recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Report post Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Yup Thats a good one Here's another good one but you have to get all of her books to be complete as she references them in her instructions and unless you have the whole set you won't know what she is talking about. She also teaches classes. Gail Hought If you want an intensive 3 week on premiss corse this is really good. Okanagan Saddlery Here's the APWA (Australian Plaiters and Whipmaker Assoc.) If you join you can buy all of the back issues of their newsletter. I think it's currently 5 Volumes could be six by now not sure. These volumes are INVALUABLE! APWA Personally I didn't have any books when I started I taught my self. I was making whips for several years before I even knew there was a book on the subject. Hope these help.

pete Report post Posted July 29, 2007 someone mentioned the Chan Geer dvd with 2-3 color double lacing. Where can I get it? It's not listed in Tandy or Hidecrafter catalogues. pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve mason Report post Posted August 5, 2007 I have the video Introduction to Rawhide Braiding "The Cowboy's Craft" by brian neubert. I don't think there is an easier way to learn how to braid. You can get the DVD and go frame by frame on the knots. The video will show all the necessary knots and braids you will need. It is one of the most straight forward learning tools I have. here is a link to his site http://www.bryanneubert.com/HTML/videos.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheridanleather Report post Posted September 19, 2007 A note for all you braiders: Sheridan Leather is now stocking Packers Drum Stuffed kangaroo. We currently have 5 colors, with the black being nearly sold out. We are only buying the best grade hides from them, and they are nice, nice, nice! They measure about 6sft on average. Of course, we also have the vegetable tanned kangaroo (dry) in several colors. Please give us a call with questions on pricing, quantity price breaks etc. We always love to send out samples!
