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!
