Intro to Leather Braiding
WITH SCOTT GORE
Leather Braiding is just as rewarding as braiding rawhide, but takes much less time, space and preparation. While Rawhide takes years to master the nuances of handling its moister content, Leather on the other hand is much more “plug and play” so to speak. You can pull out your leather braiding project when you only have 10 minutes to spend on it, then simply walk away. When you come back simply pick it up again and you are off and going!
This course is for anyone who is interested in learning to braid but may not have the time and space to commit to rawhide, or who simply wants to learn braiding and develop a solid foundation before moving up to rawhide in the future.

If you have never braided before, rawhide or other wise, that’s okay! I start from the very beginning and will take you from never braided at all to making your very first project!
Every video is narrated with extreme detail in easy to understand terms and filmed up close from what I like to call the “braiders eye view” so that you can see exactly what I am doing in each moment.
