Thank you, the hummingbird is from an image brought into Photoshop sized, cleaned up. and fit on a scan of the part. I am thinking of doing a video of the work flow as it opens up many possibilities. 7 hours ago, MarshalWill said: That's a pretty cool design. Very good work. Your friend should like it a lot.

Members DieselTech Posted February 13, 2024 Members Report Posted February 13, 2024 Thanks. Yeah I photoshop images on my phone & change a few things to get a good trace off for leather carvings. Lol my only problem is I'm limited to the size of my tracings only using my phone. Nice work! I'm a sucker for hummingbirds. Quote
Rossr Posted February 15, 2024 Report Posted February 15, 2024 That looks really nice Cant wait to see the final product! Question what does one use for the soles? Keep up the good work Ross Quote
