DIFFICULTY: MODERATE MATERIALS: THIS ONE IS MADE FROM A 1 INCH WOODEN DOWEL FOR THE HANDLE, SOME UPHOLSTERY TACKS, A BIT OF RAWHIDE FOR A LOOP ON THE HANDLE, AND A DISMANTLED THRIFT SHOP PURSE. TECHNIQUE: WE'LL MAKE PHOTOS TO DEMONSTRATE. THE KEY IS TO TAKE A PIECE OF MATERIAL & LEAVE AN INCH OF WIDTH AT ONE END WHEN YOU CUT THE STRIPS. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T CUT A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUAL STRIPS. ITS ALL ONE PIECE. WRAP IT AROND ONE END & STAPLE IT IN PLACE. WE ALSO WRAPPED RAWHIDE AROUND THE TOP. STAPLE A RAWHIDE LOOP TO THE OTHER END. THEN WRAP A SECOND PIECE OF MATERIAL TIGHTLY AROUND THE HANDLE & TACK IT IN PLACE. AS TO THE LENGHT OF THE HANDLE & STRIPS WE RECOMMEND YOU JUST GO BY HOW IT FEELS IN YOUR HAND. YOU CAN TEST IT AS YOU ASSEMBLE IT. |
