Hello why does the rawhide shink some after my finish braiding? Is the braiding not tight or to wet or not wet enough? Thank u for your videos i been making those Mexican swivels honda's like a madd man...
Rawhide swells as it gets wet, so when it dries down, it will be smaller than it previously was. If you're getting gapping in your braid after it dries, your strings were too wet when you were braiding. Moisture management is definitely the hardest part of braiding.
I have not read that one. I don't learn well when using books by themselves, so I mostly learned from other videos and one-on-one instruction from mentors.

Hello Eli, have you ever read Ron Edwards book on "How to make Whips"? It describes all you have been doing in details.
