I am waiting on a 15-91 to get here....it will sew what you want as long as you don't get too thick

looks nice.....but.....learn repition on the stitching and it would not look so uneven.....and just my opinion.....I am not a fan of edge paint..... JMHO

Looks good to me....maybe a bit of dry brush green?? Mike

Mock Bros is still in business and they have a website.... www.mockbros.com/ Mike

would you hold it till the first part of Feb? I will be driving thru and will come pick it up...Where is it located? i can pay you with paypal

Check with Bluesman1951.........he has some local vendors in NM that might be able to help.

Welcome Allen. I am from Tx also and will be moving back there in about a month. I hail from College Station. Stop in the chat room sometime too. Mike

Looks pretty good to me, the "jacked up" letters give it "charachter" Keep up the work and it will get better as you go.

looking good JJ

looks good JJ

Nice....reminds me of a stitching horse I saw when I went to visit Bill......aka bluesman1951.......very nice quality and construction!!

nice

thats different!

very cool.......hand grips are not that big so that must be a difficult thing to do. Mike

very nice

Great........thanks for the reply....Now if I can just get all this braid learning to stick in my head!! Mike

Same as what Mike2 said................But for the tool buying part.....I OWN that title Mike......the tool whore!

how long after putting the ashes on so you wait before scraping? Maybe a tutorial to help show the whole process you use? I for one would really appreciate it! Thanks, Mike Beautiful reins BTW.

are you going to leave the stitch like that? Looks good so far

Barrel size is a personal preference and the smaller ones, in my opinion, help with the tighter curves. That being said, however, I have a 1/2" and a 3/8" barrel from Barry King and I use them both depending on the pattern I am doing at the time. The Barry King knives are $45 and include a blade. They are not the cheapest and also not the most expensive either. But the are quality tools.

Very nice work as usual Nigel!!

I have a project coming up that is going to have white buckstitch.......I need 12-15 ft of 1/4" white kangaroo lace to do this with Really hate having to buy a whole roll or hide to do this......If you have any, please let me know and I will buy, barter, whatever... It needs to be in good condition BTW.....does not have to be beveled...I have a beveler to do that Thanks, Mike

I really like the work. totally amazing!

Look like bug bites to me........let me guess......Tandy??? This can happen on many hides.......the cows are not in a bug free environment!

Looks good to me......I would be careful and make the stitching straight and even as it will show up really well on the dark hide. JMHO
