Attention horse lovers, braiders, and traditional leather crafters! This is the ultimate blueprint for classic western tack-making. Written by Bruce Grant, a legendary authority on leathercraft and rawhide work, this vintage copy of How to Make Cowboy Horse Gear is packed with incredibly detailed instructional diagrams, plates, and photographs.
Note on Edition: The copyright page states 1953. This copy features the original, early text configuration and lacks the later 1956 chapter additions on saddle-making, making it highly desirable for those seeking the book\'s original layout.
If you are looking to learn the traditional arts of braiding and making your own western horse gear, this is the definitive historical guide.
