[TheForge] Mastermyr disposition

Twisted leather rope.  Hey Dave Brown!  (Perk!)  I have made twisted 
leather rope from buffalo (bison) raw hide,  but guessing that the 
Mastermyr rope might have started out as  horse raw hide.  Where would we 
find  indication of thickness and structure of the  rope.   I have 3/4 of a 
female-buffalo rawhide that would probably approximate a horse.

The beautiful wooden chest from Mastermyr collection was a non-metal item.
