As I keep learning my book of notes doesn't stop growing. My books reflect all my notes in an organized form. In that way I can go back to them everytime I don't remember how I did a knot or a braiding. As I keep receiving good feedback from my readers, I decided to put together my fourth book "Rawhide and Leather Braiding IV". I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the previous ones.

All my books are easier to follow than the majority of the books I have seen about leather braiding. I see people every day trying to learn from books that explain, in only one drawing, a complete technique. They get frustrated and they don't want to keep learning this beautiful art of leather braiding.

The books are professionally printed in black and white and they contain hundreds of pictures.
