How we make Extra Long leashes
This leather is cut the length of the hide. Each 6' leash has to have 7' of leather so that there is a handle available along with the parts braided on the top and the bottom.
We get very few 7' pieces in a hide. We also have to trim away the bad parts of the edges.
Even more rare do we get an 8' piece like with a 7' leash
No
way will we get an 11 foot or even a 10' piece so we have to splice it
together somehow. That's where the square ring comes in. It allows us to
put two pieces together.
