herringbone weave bracelet in brown leather cord 1392

This is an "over-two, under-two" herringbone weave bracelet made with 2 mm brown leather cord. The size of this example is 7" (178 mm). Both larger and smaller sizes can be made. This is the same weave design as can be seen in many other herringbone designs made with cotton cord.

The leather cord is untreated so it creaks a bit when flexed kind of like an old wicker chair when you sit on it.

If you are interested in a leather bracelet like this one please use the message utility on one of the web venues or email me directly at ghutch@isd.net

These Maple Burl Bowls created by Greg Gallegos also from Michigan would be a comfortable nest for that special rock collection. See makye77 natural selection studio for finely crafted wooden vessels finished in natural and sometimes special colors.
