Members DG Leather Posted May 6, 2009 Members Report Posted May 6, 2009 All the posts i seen on 3 legged stools lately brings me to my wooden stool....bar stool.... I cut out my circle to tool...which is the seat face.....I am wondering what options i got in order to lace/braid a strip of leather several inches wide that i will mold over the top side and attach to the tooled circle...... if there are any pictures, suggestions and or comments i would sure appreciate some direction in this new venture.....I will be going the direction of celtic knotwork on this piece Quote

Members sodapop Posted May 7, 2009 Members Report Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) the chisel spacing will be the same as your lace width as well as from the edge of each piece...the edges of leather side and top should match up square...punch your holes in both and what i do is use bread bag twist ties...match up your holes and use a twist tie every 10-12 holes or less pending to keep your two pieces and holes lined up & braid away... darryl Edited May 7, 2009 by sodapop Quote Darryl..."Imagination is more important than knowledge"...Albert Einstein...
