New batch of braided Rawhide Hondos
Notes: These are the San Juan Style Hondos I learned to build from Bill Dorrance over 25 years ago. These are not always in stock - I braid a batch when I have the time. I used to offer these for sale at various retail shops, but now my Hondos are available only through me. Made to fit a 5/16" or scant 3/8" rope. $60 each, plus shipping.
