My first attempt advice and criticism welcomed Ron

Hello folks , Its me again Fiebings have a antique finish called Sheridan Brown , When you use this do you still have to use neatsfoot oil first then laquer then the sheridan brown then the finish ! Thank You All Kindly Ron

Well thank you all for your replies , I don't feel such a dill brain now using the modeller . No worries Sam I'll post up some pics when I get serious . Ron

Hi again guys an gals from aussie . Would it be classed as sacralidge to use a modelling spoon ball the clean up around the edges of my sheridan carving . I just use it to smooth out a few rough spots .. Does that seem as bit like cheating Ron

Hello folks , I recently purchased a Chan Geer video on how to crave sheridan style , after he craves the leather he says he uses neatsfoot oil then lacquer .. Could any one tell me what he means by lacquer or what it is please Thanks Ron

I just paid $400 for a beginners kit of 17 tools and very happy ! He also shipped them to Australia for me . Ron

How do I send a private message mate and also how do I put up a photo instead of an avatar .. Ron

Teresa. We love that country down your area , I get all my gear from { http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com.au/en-aud/home/home.aspx } I joined their elite club and get around 30% off most stuff . they are fast and very polite as well helpful . They have a free call number you can call to ask questions , Tell em Ron from Mudgee sent ya lol . I have just put a handbag into our local show and got 2nd prize .. Send me an email and we can keep in touch ronnbarb9@bigpond.com . I used to deal with Birdsalls but found they buy from Tandy then sell it to you, so you know what that means hey. They gotta get a bite of the cherry too .. So I've cut out the middle man . Cheers Ron

Hi Terasa I'm Ron from out in the bush in NSW .. Nice to see another aussie . although I'm not an expert , I'm here if you need anything mate.. Ron

Hi from Australia , Does anyone one have any sheridan style craftaids or patterns for sale , I will pay by paypal if you are prepared to ship to Aust, Thanks Ron

Thanks Bob. I think I'll stick with the neatsfoot and use the mink on the finish . Thanks again for you advice and help Ron

Thanks again Bob , also while I'm here ,I was reading Sheridan Style carving by Bill Gardner and Clinton Fay , in it they say to put neatsfoot oil on after the carving is finished , before the antique is applied .. Could I use Fiebings milk oil instead .. Thanks mate Ron

Australia calling, I have seen fully carved saddles done in the sheridan style floral , Could anyone tell me where on line I could get large patterns for the floral work on a project this size . The only patterns I have found are for notebooks , billfolds . I would like something for a large hand bag or saddle bags . Also are there any craftaids out there with the sheridan floral Thanks Ron
