3rd Time's a Charm

...or not.

Here's my latest bridle (click on picture to see all of it):

3rd bridle 1

3rd bridle 2

3rd bridle 4

I got my RR order the other day and promptly set about making a bridle. Unfortunately, the cheek buckles are still too low . Hopefully the cheek straps are in the right place now, though--I think the browband is too long as well . And I skived some of the straps far too thin on this bridle. I don't think I'll be making another bridle till I get some pencil punches, gum trangacanth, and thin wire for the 1/16" buckle tongues. I also split the crownpiece too far up! Crud.

Anyway, feel free to critique!
