  1. If you don't mind me asking, what is your technique for staining the praying cowboy and horse darker that the rest. Do you just brush stain on it with a small paint brush. I have seen other bible covers with brands and initials with this type of finish and would really like to figure out how to do that. And by the way I really admire your work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  2. Thanks for the help. I will try that.
  3. Yes I made a strop. I glued a 4x6 piece of leather to a piece of wood and oiled it real good. I just could not get the jewelers rouge to go into the leather.
  4. I bought a stick of jewelers rouge from Tandy but I can't figure out how to get it rubbed into the leather. I have tried rubbing the stick on the leather and have also scraped some off but can't get it into the leather very easily. Can someone help me.
  5. Thanks for all the help. Chan's book looks like what I need. I just need to find a place I can order it from. Hidecrafters website must be down right now, but I will keep looking.
  6. I am looking for some Sheridan carving patterns for belts. Does anyone have any or know of a good resource to get these type of patterns? Scott
  7. I was just downloading the pictures off of the camera, so here they are. Let me know what you think. For some reason the pictures won't get much bigger, so you can't see the details. If any of you know what I am doing wrong when uploading I would love to know.
  8. Hey everyone, My name is Scott and I am from the SW Texas Panhandle. I stumbed across this website the other day and have found a lot of helpful things. I have been stamping and carving for several years as a hobby. I started out making a few bible covers and a couple guitar straps. I just finished making my first pair of chinks using Dusty Johnson's video and patterns. I had an absolute blast making those and can't wait to make another pair. That is actually how I found this website. I have been looking for a pattern to make some step in chinks and found a forum here talking about it. I have also tried my hand at Sheridan carving and really enjoy attempting the challenge. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and look forward to visiting with all of yall. I attached some pictures of some of the things I have made. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...0&i=5340434
