Largest Formed Tank Bib I've Done

[Largest Formed Tank Bib I've Done]

Thanks for the compliments. The leather is Wickett & Craig 6 oz veg-tan. I use two different skivers to thin down the bottom 2-3 inches of the leather where it wraps around and under to about 4 oz. I like to use 6oz to give myself plenty of thickness to give the tooling some depth, the skived section is to simply make wet-forming easier around the bottom. I made up a tutorial a bit ago, here's the link so you can see the process: http://tech.bareassc...herworking-101/

You are the best! That tutorial is awesome... I was struggling in my head on how to make the pattern, and you answered my questions. Love the suggestion for packing tape on the back of paper for the design. That's a great idea!

Thank-you so much for taking the time to create that tutorial!

Gorgeous work! I love how it wraps around and flows with the seat!

How thick is the leather that you used? Do you have a tutorial on how to do this?

I just bought myself a little sporty and would love to do something like this to make her more "mine"... but am unsure on how to go about it. I've got some petite calf & goat tooling leather, it's really thin stuff (like 2oz). Would that be too thin?
