Thayne Oian

My name is Thayne Oian and I’ve been a rawhide braider for the last 7 years. I got started braiding at a young age making stuff outta parachute cord and then transitioned into rawhide. I enjoy making hand made gear that also doubles as art. I’m currently cowboying in Idaho and still braiding here at cow camp. I’m excited to keep improving my braiding every year and showcase it in the museum each winter.
