Thanks alot Craftsman, I take a deep bow for you!
That's a very nice thing to hear. I actually did lotsa mistakes along the way on this one, like forgot to colour the innerleather before starting braids, lol. Also learned that when you push the lacing needle through the holes the fourth time it is so tight that you actually start to push out the existing braids outer loop of lace wich is not very noticeable but yet, one want to do the very best one can, so for next one I'll work it so that the needle pushes in from the front and out to the rear.
The devil is in the details;-)
I can't take full credit for this one. Rene, Anne, Roo and leathercat is as much part of it. I'd love to be able to do that leather stone instead of the vikingshield.
