Hi Clay and Thanks:-)
I think due to me being a "alien" and I did not grow up with the western style tradition the same way as an American, it might be easier for me to go outside the box??? My western tradition is Bonaza, High Caparall and Laredo O'boy did the native Americans have gorgeous horses on those shows :-)
bustedlifter...I used one of the camoflage tools, number C431, verry simple but effective.
Rayban...Belts, are you sure??? Well, I understand that would be optimal but I have to learn a bit more about straight cutting and tooling without warping before jumping head first again:-)
DCKNIVES, bobocat, leatheroo, Thanks guys an gals, alwyas nice having support around you in your craft, makes you wanna take that plunge from time to time and make someting "unknown":-)
