Very impressive rawhide quirt has a 24-plait body in amber rawhide with natural color knots accented with amber and dark brown inter-weaves. 12-plait wrist strap. Leland Hensley picked up rawhide braiding in the 1980s while attending University in Alpine, Texas. After graduating he managed a Texas ranch and continued to braid in his spare time. Upon leaving the ranch, Leland worked in several saddle shops which kept him close to the business. Several trips to Argentina to compare techniques with their leading braiders, has inspired a unique braiding style. Each braided item reveals a higher level of skill -- quality not quantity is his main goal.
