I have another box full of scrap to get rid of. it's mostly 3-4oz but there is some heavier stuff there also. some of it is at least a square foot or more. i'll give it away for shipping. it's a large box that a side came in. i'ed say 20+ pounds of leather. who wants it?

it has dissapeared a few times on me but a refresh some times brings it back. thought it was on my end

WOW!! very cool!! i missed the other post on this. i guess i'll have to look it up.

sorry... this one has already been packed and shipped. it's just leather flat across. this pan is 10 guage steel so there is no need for additional bracing. just leather straight across.i'll have to see if i have a bottom shot of another thanks steve!!i do enjoy coming up with some floral now and then. it is where i started when i was a kid. reminds me of the days learning with my dad. stitching is a challenge since i don't do much of it but i do enjoy it

it's similar to mine. here is one of the pages from the article

very cool wallet!! love the background stuff you did.

boy you have been busy!! nice work

thanks tom! i really like the look of a stitched seat also. i don't do much of it but like anything else... i try to improve each time i do it LOL! i posted it kinda late. the horse does send out one notice. i had gotten mine and forgot about it. don't it figure this was the issue that mine stoped coming. i ended up ordering it as a back order but, you can usually fine it locally in walmart ect...

thanks kate! it's been done. i did bags on this one and he took an old saddle apart for the seat. one of these days he wants me to redo it.

thanks guys!! freak... your cracking me up!! my artwork. i drew it up one eve. this one is close to the one i have in the current horse mag. he wanted it similar. here is the original drawing. i don't do much with a pencil but floral i do

here are my two Barry King knives. they are both 3/8" barrels. one is a straight 1/4" blade the other angled. i like the responce i get from the smaller diameter knife

thanks for all the comments!! i like to stitch one now and then. most times the customer wants some sort of lace but, i have learned to enjoy saddle stitching now and then! i have a couple lined tool bags to do so, i'll be doing a bit more stitiching LOL! tim ken... it's saying just the way it is and let the sun tan it up

just finished this one up.

i have a couple of barry's knives. i can take a pic when i get home. mine are both 3/8" barrels.

tHANKS GUYS!! it's a modified round braid/mexican basket weave. if you have instructions for that you follow it but where ever you would go under for round braid, you don't with this pattern. it all lays on top. hope you can follow

no problem! hopefully you can do what you want from there. if i had the time i would do a line drawing on the computor

from what i can see on the eye... a bit of eyelid would help and the pupil comes too far around the ide of the eye. the pupil should be more oval shaped and less rounded from a side view. also maybe recess the eye a bit more. it looks like it's bulging a bit the rest of it looks real good.

thaks tom! i really like that lacing pattern! i can lace a seat iin about the same amount of time as my regular cross stitch thanks much john! i m actually in three mags this month!! the other two are roadbike and brit chopper. i need to get them scanned in and put up on my site

here is a scan of the artwork supplied to me.

thanks everyone!!! it will be staying the way it is BTW

real nice grem!! i love the lining! it will look even better once the lace darkens a bit

thanks again all!! i did a fade job on it and we'll see if it sticks or not. thanks pete! i have been (very) slowly gathering a few tools to do some sheridan tooling. i try and mess with t a bit now and then. i am almost always busy and never bored the flower center is from barry king. it and a thumb print are my newest tools anyway....here she is! i used the shirley braid again. was gonna saddle stitch it but needed to get it done. took less than two hours to lace.
