Members Rawhide Posted January 10, 2008 Members Report Posted January 10, 2008 Kevin, If you get the book "The Art of Hand Sewing Leather" there is a diagram that shows you how to make one to fit on a kitchen chair. To make it a stand alone horse, all you would need to do is add two back legs and you're done. Marlon Quote Marlon

Members bcurrier Posted January 10, 2008 Members Report Posted January 10, 2008 ... If you use that logic no carving that cuts the grain should ever be done on a piece of leather namely swivel knife cuts. ... some old saddlemakers give the same logic in choosing used saddles with basket stamping or ones with floral caving. ... I guess if there's a difference, it's with edge stitching. You do see leather goods from time-to-time - usually older and dry - with bits of leather missing between the stitch and edge. Grooving makes it a bit easier to tear a piece off. Bill Quote
