"Desert Canyon" Show Lead
The Details:
Masculine but lightweight! Weighing in at only 22g (0.8oz), this hand braided 4 strand Roo Leather show lead makes use of one single glass bead by Canyon Echos and two hand tied Spanish Ring Knots to help keep everything light as air! It is comprised of 2 leather colours - Whiskey and Butterscotch.
I take care to inspect every inch of every strand of leather to ensure there are no splices that would weaken your end product. From there each strand is split and beveled (which helps get a smooth, even braid) before being stretched and conditioned. Once the leather is prepared it is tightly braided around a 300lb Dacron test core. Once the braiding is finished my leads are rolled and conditioned again for a soft, smooth lead that only gets better with use!
The Dimensions:
- Lead measures 31" from end to end
- Handle measures 4.25" in length
- Collar Loop end is ~1.25" long
- Bead cluster begins 5.75" from collar loop and is 2" long.
Photos are taken indoors under UV lighting. Colours may not be exactly as they appear in real life due to variances in monitors and lighting. If you would like additional photographs in natural lighting please contact me.
Show leads are not intended for day to day use (i.e. walking). Over-conditioning of your lead will result in foils rubbing off quickly. Show leads last best when they are used on fairly well trained dogs.
