Braiding A Reata
WITH SCOTT GORE
Thanks for your interest in braiding Reatas! This course will walk you through the entire process with good close up camera angles and easy to follow instruction. Reatas are by far my favorite thing to make and I can’t wait to see what all of you turn out!
What you will learn in this course:
How to make a Reata from start to finish
Cutting up the hide
Cutting the strings
Beveling
Splitting
Making tamales
Making the honda
Finishing the ends
How to add a fancy button to a honda
~All information in the videos is easy to see and extremely detailed~
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.
~Scott

I’ve learned more in the past month than I had in the past 3 years
by watching and participating in Scott’s courses. He is very
thorough and explains how to prepare and complete your project
step by step.
