Thread??

[Boothill Bob]

What thread do you use when you handstitch?
I use Artificial Sinew..

[Mogorilla]

Depends on the project.  For most holsters I use the waxed linen thread in either white, brown, or black.  I like the contrast, so I often use a different colour depending on the colour of the item.   I have used the artificial sinew as well, nice and strong, easy to split.  I also use real sinew, depending on how authentic I want to be.  Currently I am slowly piecing together a coyote face bag, using trade wool, and commercial smoked brain tan.  For that I am using elk backstrap sinew I picked up.

Recently I have switched to Barbour 5 strand linen thread in natural color and I dye it medium brown, as needed,  and then wax it.  Now guess where I got that idea?

I looked at going that way Wiley, but at 52 bucks a spool, I blinked twice and said I'll stick with what I'm doing now. It was more thread than I would likely use in two lifetimes.

      I switched a while back to the Barbour 5 strand, I do my own waxing, and I'm very happy with it, I owe Chuck Burrows for this one, this thread really is a quality thread. I made a mixture of bees wax and pine pitch for my thread wax, which also helps in preserving the thread.

Yep, Ol Chuck sold me on the barbour. JD I'll never need to buy another spool, if my grandson takes up leather crafting he may never need to buy another spool...lots o thread.
