Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted January 17, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 17, 2019 Round braids can consist of 3 or more strands. You might check out Bruce Grant's book, "Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding." It is available on Amazon, and will answer any braiding questions you might have. Quote

Members CelticPrint Posted January 18, 2019 Members Report Posted January 18, 2019 Veg tanned, water, a plank and a solid smooth surface. Braiding is just a pattern, whether 3,4,6 or 8 keep your plaits tight and uniform, keep the skin side out and as long as it's not sealed you just have to get the braid wet and roll it back in forth in between a hard flat surface and a hard smooth plank. You can turn a braid so round and smooth it will look like clay that came out of an extruder. When I make whips I skive or edge the strips to get an even tighter, rounder finish. Quote
