first basketweave

[Zilla]

So the little car trash bag thingy is the first thing I have ever done basket weave on. It was also my attempt at carving oak leaves. The wallet I just finished a few moments ago.

Those both turned out real nice Kev. I like the lacing on the trash bag thingy.

Thanks Ken. That lace took forever to do since I hate doing that double loop. That is also the piece that is so old that the holes in the leather tore apart.

Thanks Luke. Both are done in med. brown antique and the dyed edges and background around the oak leaves and concho is chocolate brown with a black sharpie feathered out from the beveled edge of the leaves. Finished with the Super Sheen.

Kev,

Next time you have a old piece of leather you want to lace try using Lexolâ„¢ conditioner and/or Leather Balm with Atom Wax on the area being laced and pull the lace through a rag with some on it. I use it (LB w/ AW) when I lace and it makes the lacing go more smoothly (less swearin').

Tricks learned over the years.
