The Alamo

[WalterF]

Wanted to try a building, The Alamo seemed like a good project. It was more difficult than anticipated, larger size would make it easier. The size was 7.5 x 10, seemed big enough when printing the piece, plus it is hard to find a lot bigger piece on a belly. With the price of bellies it gives me more freedom to try and not be afraid of the cost of failure, just have to read the leather for proper moisture content.

Thank you, the one with Billy Bob Thorton was real good too. Would love to see it in person.

 

Wishing you peace beyond all understanding

This is amazing! Great job on every detail!

did you make that frame? Do you think a novice could copy your design?

Thank you, the frame came from Walmart or Hobby Lobby. I would suggest having a little figure carving experience. Different stamps are used than in floral, mainly the bevelers designed completely different.

 

My Bear and Son's Bowie knife came today, it needs a fitting sheat for it.

The knife is made in Jacksonville, Alabama. My home state.

If you lived a lot closer . . . I'd say load up the pickup with the knife and come on up . . . would be fun to make a sheath for that beauty
