The rawhide braided quirt competition is an unexpectedly big succes. Even 7 entered in division 2!! (for people that can''t cut split or bevel their own string they get precut strings.)

If you don't anchor a button on a a braid in some way, it will start to travel sooner or later

The turnback part 2

I got a question on a previous video about how I get my turnbacks the way I do. here is part one

New and exciting format for a rawhide nraided quirt competition

We can learn something from every one, as long as we keep an open mind.

There are several different ways to come up with how many strings or bights one needs to cover up a project or to determine what size of string you need.

Making the foundation that will determine the shape of the pineapple buttons and bomba zurdas and how I anchor them in the braid on the reins

My apologies for forgetting to videotape some steps, but I hope I'm able to explain what I did and how I did it.

Part 2 is about what I do after I have braided the 1st half of the rein and start the 2nd half.

Some techniques I use and how I go about braiding romal reins, hopefully without getting too boring

If you go for a gathering or spend a day with a braider, don't worry about a project, worry about learning the structure of what you want to learn, each step, how to do it right

At the 2023 rawhiders gathering Mike Hickey and myself tried to explain the structure and mechanics of the turkshead. Once you understand the structure of the turkshead, and no longer have to memorise over/under sequences, you can easily enlarge it to however many bights and parts you want, and you will be only limited by your imagination and creativity
