Bound Cowboys & Indians photo album
Wild Bill46 replied to Colt W Knight's topic in Books, Journals and Photo Albums
Really nice Colt, The theme you have chosen is a good one indeed ! It looks nicely done too ! -
The Creaser is basically a guide line marker. it could be used as you describe, But, I don't practice that method myself. I'm in favor of the groove.( it seats the stitches in the stitch line, and makes for a much neater apperaence). The grooved line is simply colored before stitching. There is a basic leather tool collection available on such as, Tandy Leather, E-Bay etc.i've seen them on Pinterest too ! Hope this might have helped in some way! --- Wild Bill46

Maybe ? Seems, I saw someplace recently, there was a new Feibings green dye out ? There are so many colors in alcohol base now, If so, It would also seem, you might be able to dirty it up a bit with other like dye colors and come out with a shade of olive drab ? Haven't seen it, or looked for it myself, Might be worth looking into though. ? Might have been, I heard of it from Tandy ? A Google search lead me to a Fiebings Leather Dye color chart, which lists Kelly Green, Green, and Aqua Green ! Sorry this info is not of any precise help ! --- Wild Bill46

I Welcome you to LWN also. I think, Twin Oaks has given you a great insight into your appropriate newby question, The best illistration I think I ever heard ! I Generally go by, half the thickness of the leather to be carved. As far as questions go, Ask away, this is the place and these leatherworkers are the greatest bunch of knowledgeanywhere !

That's one hell of a nice shop ! Huge Windows, Great views, not one, but Two Sewing machines, Even a Stitching Horse, with a nice Work Table and Bench. Rustic only describes the serenity you must experience while working in this super great place ? Yes, Envy would be a correct description for me too ! Congratulations ! --- Wild Bill46

Good thought went into your making of this belt ! But further, those less fortunate can now be part of an otherwise closed society- (at least to them) Great deed, and great work ! --- Wild Bill46

How To Apply Clear-Lac And Acrylic Resolene
Wild Bill46 replied to Newbee's topic in How Do I Do That?
The artistic design of the Dodwood blooms and leaves, with the cross of inspirational words is very soothing. Congratulations ! I most often use a 50/50 mixture of Water/Resoline ! Also, On occasion I use Saddle Lac , but Supersheen is a good product too ! ------- Wild Bill46
