Stupid Rawhide rims....
#5
I used waxed linen thread...not sure of the weight, but it's the same stuff I used for my caligae. I think part of hte problem may be that it's caught on some edges of the rawhide. See, I used sections of rawhide, because I used a dog rawhide bone....Hey, I saw it on Matt Amt's website as a suggestion, and they're cheap, so why not? LOL. Oh, and they broke after construction...

Anyway, where some of the pieces overlap it may have broke because of the edging...but, there are other areas where it just seemed to break for no good reason. I think I'll tie those areas off with knots and rivet it.
