key rings

[SmilinJim]

A couple of projects this week. I did a couple of the belt key rings in the Tandy mailout. Decided to change it and do a glove clip since I have to wear gloves at times on the job. The plastic ones always break. And no one can snatch mine to use. Had to use cloth gloves for the pic. My work gloves got sorta wet, muddy, yucky and all that. Been a wet couple of days.

Also did a slicker using a piece of deer antler. Glued it into a round knob and covered with a three colors of deerskin lace.

That's a killer looking slicker. How hard is it to learn the knot like that?

Not really that hard. It's a 7 part 6 bight turks head that is tripled. I tied a 7X6 knot then followed the lace twice more with different color lace. I used deerskin. But I have to add that I had some trouble learning some of the knots. Tandy has some good books on braiding.
