I can see some areas needing improvement but overall I am happy with it. It will be a gift for my Dad for Dad's day.
What do you think?
I use a straight edge when I cut my border lines, tried scribeing them and had a heck of a time trying to keep them straight. But looks pretty good.

I use the tandy pro stitching groover number 88081-00. I'll try to put up a pic.I like better than the other one cause I have better control with it.

Just got this finished,there's a whole lot of work in making one of these.

I have used these stamps a lot and I can tell you they will try your patience. It took me a lot of practice before I was confident enough to use them on a project. I just scribe a line I want to follow and work with that. I align the edge of the stamp with the line and have to be really careful to align the strands of the barbwire up perfectly. And always use the stamp in the same direction every time. Never turn it 180. It is also crucial to have properly cased leather to get a clean image with this type of stamp.
FYI, if you want a different color on the barbwire you can trace the lines of the stamp with the sharp point sharpies. I have made the stamp actually look like it was rusty barbwire using a sharpie in brown then dying my leather normally over the sharpie and then applying my finish.
Good luck,

I did scribe a line ,but I was trying to line it up in the middle of the stamp. Didn't try to line up the edge. Thanks for all of the help.

I picked up a Pasche and a cheap air brush, no brand on it and a almost new compressor at the local pawn shop for $115.00. some good deals show up once in a while.
