Contributing Member rdb Posted February 19, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted February 19, 2009 You are a lucky one, Elegant! And so is everyone else this time around! Everyone has outdone themselves with beautiful gifts. Imagine the poor "civilians" out there missing out on all this good stuff. Web page Facebook
Contributing Member UKRay Posted February 24, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2009 A box of treasures arrived on my doorstep, all the way from carr52 in sunny South Carolina, and I just have to show you guys what was inside. This lot must have taken literally hours of work... Tom, what can I say. A beautiful natural coloured plaited belt, very nicely finished off - no less than two very elegantly carved wallets and a very clever zipper purse complete with a real gold paint job! A wristband, three deer horns to make into a creaser, a slicker and a folder and some superb knotted buttons along with a really neat holder for my fishing pliers and a tiny pair of leather cuff links! You rock, fellah and I can't thank you enough! Would you believe that this guy asked me for a critique - impossible, it is all excellent!

Members 1bootscootin Posted March 1, 2009 Members Report Posted March 1, 2009 I'm alittle late on posting my PIF from rdb, but that job thing kept getting in the way. I received an excellent tooled pad with three perfect techniques for me to try. He has some great staining styles. It is bordered with arrowhead stamping that he has displayed on his excellent belt tutorial (which I am going to try). He says the leaf carving is free handed. Makes me realize I have work to do. I am using it as my mousepad for eternal inspiration. Thanks rdb for a really nice piece of work. Hope this pix thing works. JBoots La Porte, Texas
Contributing Member rdb Posted March 1, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 1, 2009 I am real glad you liked it. Thanks for the nice words. In real life the dye job did come out cool, I thought. There are aspects you can't see in the photo. My freehand "drawing" is cartoonish, but i just wanted to play with my new sheridan tools on the flower..tools before thought...lol Web page Facebook

I guess the box was bigger than I thought so I just kept putting things in it. I am glad you like it. Tom
Contributing Member UKRay Posted March 1, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 1, 2009 Thank you Ray. I guess the box was bigger than I thought so I just kept putting things in it. I am glad you like it.Tom I'm delighted, Tom - in fact I was showing a guy your work this afternoon and he was most envious. I have already started work on those horns...
