Bucking rolls

[oltoot]

No, we set them up with a fan blowing on them and they thus dried pretty quick. No staining problems on rolls made of darker chap leather pieces. And we never let dyed shearling clippings get saved, only bark tanned shearlings that we used for saddle lining and relining.

PS placing things in the path of a fan to dry proved useful for lotsa things.

I finally finished them. Here’s a picture.

Thank you

These look really good!

Did you stitch by hand or machine?

I made a pair once, but I had to fix them about a month later, cause the seams went and the stuffing burst out!  I think the leather I used was too thin.

Thank you.  I hand stitch them, I’m not cool enough to have a machine. Time will tell if the stitches hold.  I used the handle of a stamp to pack them.
