Leather lace handle pics...

Just trying something new.





"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thanks guys. I would rather op out for more standard cross stitched leather handle probably if given a choice between the two, but I don't think it's too bad. I wish I could figure out how to braid leather like a pool stick handle,  ;D.

Thats pretty stylish,i like it!
I think you need multiple strands for the poolcue look.
I have been thinking of trying to make a macrame sometime,there are some awesome patterns that cuold be made that way i think.

Thanks guys, I was just playing around. I'd rather have a normal leather handle or cordwrap any day though.

After reading the title I was unsure about checking it out. But you did good, I like that wrap.

Very simple and elegant.  Makes me wonder if you could use contrasting leather lacing to make it pop a little?
