Members sodapop Posted May 3, 2009 Members Report Posted May 3, 2009 i figured i'd join the bracer club and finally make one...the background has obviously tommy's influence of course...then i modified a regular cuff patten to make this 2.5" bracer...this prototype i made for myself to wear...its fully lined and padded...i just laced it the way it is for the pic to hold it the way i wanted...i don't have any round lace at the moment & the boot lace had to do for now... darryl p.s thanks brudda tom for you inspirations & influences you've given many...

Members CitizenKate Posted May 3, 2009 Members Report Posted May 3, 2009 That's really sharp, Darryl. I definitely can see the TomSwede influence in your piece. I'm sure he will be flattered! Kate Quote
Members DG Leather Posted May 4, 2009 Members Report Posted May 4, 2009 can you lay the bracer flat and photo it from above so i can see the contour of the edges....i am curious in the pattern layout.....i like seeing all these diffrent bracers....I been making straight lined ones and trying to understand the patterns used by people....It takes me a while to process stuff like that....anyways it would be nice to see..

Members sodapop Posted May 4, 2009 Author Members Report Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) appreciate it kate!!...ya tommy's were the first i had ever seen of the type when i first joined LW...plus hes become a good friend via LW as well from across the pond...so i figured for my first go at one it would be fitting to make it a little tom swede'ish darryl Edited May 4, 2009 by sodapop Quote Darryl..."Imagination is more important than knowledge"...Albert Einstein...

Members sandycreek Posted May 4, 2009 Members Report Posted May 4, 2009 Darryl, Love the bracer. If I may ask, what tool did you use for the matting/background around the design. I really like that texture. Thanks -Aaron Quote Remember, I'm no pro....
