Dave Brown,

Want to  make some  left handed twisted leather rope at Living History 
Farms / Des Moines ?

Twisted Leather Rope
Part of a twisted rope of leather strands  Pl. 29: 133

The rope is Z-twisted from three S-twisted strands. It is very fragile.
The largest piece: length about 5.0 cm, thickness 1.0 cm.
