Great job on that horn, Linc!

My wife just finished making me up a pair of straps.The style of weaving (I guess you would call it weaving) is called Kumihimo. At any rate I attached them to my horn and my possibles strap. As you can tell I haven't gotten any farther with the staining of the leather. LOL.

That's tight Linc....looks real good!

[Linc]

Thanks David, I 'preciate that.

I stand corrected about the Kumihimo. It is a Japanese form of braiding using a circular loom.

I also forgot to mention that the height of the horn is more or less adjustable. The braided strap are just held in by friction by the tight holes in the straps.

Linc, That came out nice. What yard did Mary use for the braiding?

[Linc]

Thanks buddy.She used pearl cotton. It is a heavy thread. Heavier than what they use for counted cross stitch.

Very nice work, Linc! 

[Linc]

Thanks Ranger. I hope to be putting it to use when I get my .45 cal Kentucky rifle rebuilt.
