Some time ago I wrote two books in called “BRAIDED
BORDERS” and “ARGENTINEAN GAUCHO’S CATTLE COUNTERS”. I decided it was time to replace them with a
more complete book that includes the material of both of them and some more advance
material. I collected information for over a year to compile this new volume
and the truth is that I had to resist the temptation to keep adding more
material into it. Every time I was going to call it finished, I wanted to add
something else.
This book is
good for the beginner and the advance braider. I called it “RAWHIDE AND LEATHER
BRAIDING”. It is professionally printed
in black and white.
