Here is an instruction manual for the novice worker in rawhide. Unlike many other works on the subject, this book assumes no previous knowledge or experience. The reader is shown in drawings and photographs every step of the procedure, from starting with a fresh cowhide, through cutting strings and braiding them, to finished reatas, bosals, hobbles, or reins. The book also is useful to the collector of braided rawhide by demonstrating what to look for when buying an article. "For those who collect, use, or aspire to learn how to make your own cowboy horse gear, don't miss Woolery's book." --Western Horseman

A complete guide to braiding horse tack.,
This review is from: Braiding Rawhide Horse Tack (Paperback)
Woolery has included a wide variety of braiding techniques and their application with regard to making horse tack. Although all of the examples are western-type tack, the pieces of tack described are useful to any horseman. Learning how to make your own tack can be very handy out on a trail when something breaks, and Woolery's book has enough information to become an expert or a competant amateur.

Buy a different book.,

This review is from: Braiding Rawhide Horse Tack (Paperback)
After reading "Leather Braiding" by B. Grant Leather Braiding this one pales by comparison. Illustrations and cryptic instructions are not very user friendly. If you are serious about horse tack then maybe it's for you. But if you want to make some pretty and useful everyday items go for Grant's book.
