I don't think it silly at all. And you're right, not a single one of us has it exactly correct, but we make effort in that direction. I applaud your efforts and your interest in keeping as close to the known descriptions as you have. There's no rule that says the rawhide must be trimmed exactly smooth...I think what you've done is really good work!
Still waiting on your pictures, Tim. :?:

If you would care to read some of my previous posts you WILL see I have made quite a bit.

I don't doubt it, Tim. It just seemed odd and inappropriate to belittle the efforts of others, at least to me. Everybody starts with no gear and moves up the ladder from there. Those who have been doing things for years and years, and are blessed with disposable income to acquire more get there faster. The rest of us have to move more slowly. Hopefully, with no false starts or incorrect purchases, we won't waste too much of our effort and time.
It is almost always a better tack to congratulate those who take the step of getting some kit together than to tell them it was silly to do whatever it was that they did. Do you have a Germanic impression? I'm sure we'd all like to see what you've made.
