So I wanted to get as much info as I could, because i REALLY like the way your rope borders turn out. Now I'm off to spend some money at Barry's and Pro Leather Carvers. Thanks again. Always glad to help people spend money! Here is an early Celtic rope stamp thing I did from 2009, the early days of leatherworker.net. I came across this picture tonight looking for something else. As I recall Bert or Ernie (one of the "Clay's") set up a challenge with a Celtic pattern. I tried it with rope. This was pretty rough but I learned a bunch about beveling, sliding the rope stamp around curves and making sharp bends with that stamp. I did a bunch of the cowboy headstalls with that border also and an example of I used tipped impressions on the curve - keep the outside full impression and tip to narrow up the inside curve. the beveler will clean up the inside. The other is a quick and dirty example of ending a rope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
