[flasah] Leather cord.
Joe and George,
I would like to thank both of you for you
suggestions. I am glad to hear Joe that you
like Leathercordusa as I ordered some leather
cord from them the day the other stuff kept
breaking on me. I do have to say that I took
my poor spool back to the store today and was
promptly given a fresh spool with the managers
deepest sympathy. Oh by the way George the site
you recomended did not post any prices. Now I
can get back to my braiding and stop bothering
you good people for a minute or two.Braiding is
such fun when the cord does not break everytime
you snug it up.
WINDY......Braiding sooths the savage soul of
even great wood workers who play a leather
worker on TV.
