The Art of Braiding,
Bosal II |
The 3rd book of instruction
The Art of Braiding, Bosal II focuses upon adding contrasting
color to the 16 plait, 8 bight nose button and heel knot of the
bosal.
This book is approached as if we are working
on this project together. The
Art of Braiding, The Bosal I gave instructions on making
a 12 plait bosal, 5/8" diameter core with a 6 bight nose
button and heel knot, a good size to learn how to make a bosal
or hackamore. The Art of Braiding, Bosal II now furthers
that instruction to a 16 plait, 5/8" diameter core with
an 8 bight nose button and heel knot. The book is very detailed
in color and includes the following and more:

The Art of Braiding plastic spiral
binding has recently been upgraded to a stronger yet attractive
black wire binding, one that is not only resistant to heat
and the wear and tear of rigorous use, but it still allows the
book to lay flat open as the braider works through the instructional
pages. We trust you will be please with this new binding. |
