steven1 Report post Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) What kind of dogs? How many strands do you want to use? Are you going to use a core? How long do you plan to make them? You might check the braiding section in fabrication in forums. Edited February 6, 2020 by steven1 add link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steven1 Report post Posted February 10, 2020 I would probably use a 4-5 oz latigo leather. You could try it out with some 1/2" x 6' saddle strings. That won't give you a long leash but would give you an idea and a starting point for minimal investment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
