Nice work and welcome to the forum.

good luck and don't lay it in the hot sun.

start with the point its a 45 degree angle.

Fringe was an American native thing from what i 've read and seen of them in museums I feel they were an embellishment mostly. Native Americans did like to have nice things and their clothes were as much a status symbol as ours are now. They tied hair to them put beads on them and even dyed them. I also feel they probably helped break up the human outline so an asset to hunting in them. I'm sure they may wick some of the moisture away but not much although I have not found any definite proof of exactly why they used it. If any of you folks are ever in CODY visit the museum, one the finest on western American history both native and not, plan on a two day visit!

Sweeet! those are nice.

i like those designs you came up with, here are some more.

dang your knocking them out there man they look great Bourbon or not lol. Everyone likes a little freestyle once in a while. Have you learned how to make hearts yet with that stamp?

here is a good recipe for you https://bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/a-really-good-waxing-recipe.126153/

seems you removed the front ground too.

and it smells like Boiled linseed oil for a couple months lol. But that isn't a bad odor IMO, If you have ever painted with oil based paints you know the smell.

i use boiled linseed oil and beeswax the basic formula that been used since sailing boat days and i am sure they also would have used paraffin in the mix also. Folks call it oilskin and recipes abound on the net for it. I can dig out mine if you want but basically melt the two together and it makes a paste when cool as you said then smear it on and heat it to soak it in. I use it on baseball caps, and outdoor gear. Once you decide on a recipe it takes a week or so to dry depending on the temps and stuff. it works on most any cloth.

I've heard of people who don't cut themselves but I've never met one. Twice this week for me on leather and once in the garage on wood, and its only Tuesday. What we need is a thread about getting blood stains out of an almost finished piece lol.

awesome indeed!!!

man that is awesome work!! Took me by surprise my dads initials lol.

I've had some luck looking for names and people on Ancestry .com

ensemble? would the purple rhinestones match your shoes? Lol i don't know but they would leave black and blue knots on your head lol. I'm no expert on walking sticks or clubs either but i do know you need the good wood not the naughty stuff.

mine has some flex but not a lot, it has to be stout to catch a fall or to whack someone with lol.

God bless you pastor. you are right.

that is a beautiful piece and the love and hard work you put into it shows IMO.

Really?

shoe polish.

I don't put plastic in any of my leather goods, its not needed and i have no idea why you would want it. It will break down much sooner than your leather. I didn't watch the video and have no idea why its even used so i cant help much. Good luck with your project

those look really nice, a nice western style vest would look great with them

whats it used for in the wallet? maybe we can figure it out that way or suggest a substitute.

and i also apologize I reread and admit i sounded really rude, crude, i really was just trying to add to the conversation.
