Encyclopedia of Rawhide
and Leather Braiding
by Bruce Grant, (1972) is, without a doubt, an essential braiding
resource. His determination to collect, photograph and research
braided work must have been a monumental task. No doubt he learned
much about the craft as he compiled information. Much of Bruce
Grants previous books, Leather Braiding, (1950), and How
to make Cowboy Horse Gear, (1953), found their way into Encyclopedia
of Rawhide and Leather Braiding. These books were in my collection
years before I began braiding leather and rawhide. For the serious
craftsmans, I would recommend the addition of Bruce Grants,
Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding. |
