Elton Joorisity Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Here is a case that I finished yesterday. It's my 2nd case and also the first one I machine stitched. Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
Colman Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Elton, That is one FINE looking case, really like the latch and filigree work! What is the width of the gussets? Johnny Quote Endeavor to perceiver.
Elton Joorisity Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Thanks Johnny. Gussets were 4 1/2 before stitching. Total size is 11 X 14 X 4 Edited January 26, 2009 by Elton Joorisity Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
Moderator bruce johnson Posted January 26, 2009 Moderator Report Posted January 26, 2009 Elton, Very cool use of the hide. Are the gussets hide too? The whole thing is outstanding. Great work amigo. I like your Stamey line also. "Don't forget to stay loose".

Elton Joorisity Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Thanks Bruce. The gussets are burgundy bullhide which just happened to match the burgundy lining PERFECTLY!! I would have used hair on but I can't stand looking at my work a while down the road just to see that it has SHED OUT!! Remember, decapitation is preferrable to a buck off!!

Members steve mason Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 nice work, great job on the carving. looks real good Quote check out www.stevemasonsaddles.com check out my saddle blog
Moderator bruce johnson Posted January 26, 2009 Moderator Report Posted January 26, 2009 I know what you mean about the shedding. A few of the belts I've inlayed and plugged look like mulehide under the seat belt zone. I hear you about the buck-off - That could be embarassing. You know pard, I bet they could sew that ear back on......

Members Kani Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 Beautiful piece. I have a question. Did you line it with something to protect your laptop? If so what? Thanks Quote
