  13. Thanks for comments always fun. I wanted this piece to look like it was found in a old garage some where. Old and dusty. Because of Mike's suggestion of using a beaver stretch, this style was born.
  14. Mike how ya doing. I soaked rawhide for 7 days. Mason jar mineral spirit, chopped pieces coco bola wood with a bit of sawdust and little die. Sawdust gave some  Texture to the rawhide. Thanks for info. Bob

      Coco bola..here we'd use walnut shells ( you'll maybe find it cheaper ) ..makes a dark dye that in France is called broux de noix ..( you can also use walnut bark ..or leaves from the tree, some other trees will work, but walnut gives the darkest ) here it is sold at about €3.00 per litre, in drugstores /hardware stores.The leaves ( not the nuts or the shells or bark ) are also used to make a "walnut wine".

      broux de noix means brew of nuts..and broux* is pronounced just like brew..noix is pronounced to rhyme with "wah" ( like wah wah pedal )..de is like "duh"..as in Homer..

      Pretty sure that broux is the origin of brew.

  15. Thanks for comments. Had hoop 1st fitted leather to hoop in a rustic kinda style. I wanted this kind of look, of course as always was hoping for the best.
  16. This is another willow hoop, 2nd piece for Man Cave 17"×19". Dragons appear in legends mostly as villain's never short on bravery. Leather is 3.5 only used tan antique, dyed rawhide.
  17. This is a first, thumbs up my friend a new style is born
