Just so I understand, you cut this shoulder from a half hide? Purchased half inch wide strip from your Etsy site and am extremely pleased with my purchase. Some of the nicest leather I’ve received. Donald.
Yes I start with a side. I trim off the belly leather and some parts of the shoulder that are too stretchy for lace. Then I round out the ends and I can start cutting lace with the strander.
It is a solid little tool. It only splits, you cannot use it to taper skive a strap like some of the more expensive splitters. I mostly use it for belt making. Like I mentioned in the video. It does come in handy for things like this because you can make the lace or strap a more consistent thickness. I will also use it when I need something like a 6 ounce strap but only have 8 ounce leather long enough to cut it out of.
thank you it's good to see technics on beveling. I'm gonna try this and you made some common sense that made me think. thanks again.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your leather videos. Helped me when I first started plaiting. And tying Turks head knots.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad it helped.
Great video! Very good editing! Thank you.
Thank you!

Can you show how to make 8 strand gsucho braid around core with 2 different colors. Thanks in advance.
I have been planning to make a video about braiding with different colored strands. I have just not found the time for it yet.
