Leather Braiding

Summary: Good Inexpensive Alternative
Review: Bought this at a Tandy store many years ago and had to replace it recently (made the "mistake" of loaning it out). I bought this instead of Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding. by Bruce Grant. While the other book may be good, the price tag made me balk and not being able to actually flip through it first made me wonder about if it was worth the money.

This was well worth it. I was able to take the techniques and use them to make a flail using both suede lace and plastic lace. The instructions are clear and concise. Instructions are given for many different projects.

If you do leatherwork, this is a good addition to your collection!

Summary: Excellent Information on Leather Braiding
Review: The author writes well enough for the common person to understand without talking down to the reader. He approaches the subject assuming the reader knows nothing (and in my case was entirely correct). The information is pertinent, easy to follow, and the illustrations are wonderful!

Summary: Good read but needs work on the illustrations
Review: This is one of those books for us custom leather workers that is a must. Having done leather work and fancy knot work for around 16 years I found this book full of ideas I could use. Most of the illustrations are fairly accurate (some definately need to be checked .....i.e. the Herringbond knot). Minus the flaws in the illustrations this book is a keeper.
