I'm making my own bewits. I have a model one from another falconer's red-shouldered hawk, but of course their legs are little compared to a redtail's. How long and wide would you recommend I make a redtail's bewit?

Bell bewits for the legs of a redtail. I bought some leather hide and I'm eager to start making my own equipment. Jesses and anklets are done, but I can't find information anywhere on making bell bewits.
I think mine are about 4 inches when I cut it just to make it easier to put on then once I pass the ends through I trim any extra. 1/4" sounds right for thickness but it depends on your bell i just hold my bell up to the leather and use it to mark the width and then cut from that.
