New Bosal!!

Finally finished the bosal!


It´s a 5/8" 12 plait rawhide bosal with a slightly swelled roo nosebutton. Heelknot and ringknots with roo & latigo interweaves. It´s braided over an old rawhide reata core.

I really, really don´t like heelknots! Even though I used an interweave this time I still managed to miss a pass late last night. Didn´t even recognize it until just now...

Anyway, here´s the process:

The braided core on right is what I used

Here´s the cowhide on the workbench

after soak to get pliable

98 feet of 1" tamale

1/4" strings

Braiding core

Done!
