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: *Detail instruction on sizing materials needed. *Plaiting 16 with instruction on tightening and finishing plaited core.  *8 Bight nose button *How to space for added color. *How to add color in a balanced, symmetrical pattern. *Adding 1st contrasting, then a 2nd contrasting color in 2 places to teach both skills. *Adding contrasting color at the nose button ends. *Tightening interweaves. *Where and how to bury strings most effectively.
