Ambassador The Major Posted May 7, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted May 7, 2009 Well, I started this binder 2 years ago as a competition piece. Needless to say, it got put off to the side as orders started piling up. But I finally finished it. So I thought I would share. Design is colored with spirit dye. The inside is covered with a nice soft goatskin suede left in its natural color. The edges are braided in a two tone color with kangaroo lace. the only thing about this binder is there were a couple scars that was hidden on the leather that didn't come out until I put the finish coat on it. (Pisses me off) I put up some pics of the scars, they are not real noticeable, but you can see them none the less.

hidepounder Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Beautiful job, Shawn! Lots of work go into those. Roses are difficult to tool and yours looks really good. I hope you don't wait another two years to show us another one! Bob Quote

Members Razz Posted May 8, 2009 Members Report Posted May 8, 2009 My wife likes that one. The two tone lacing really brings everything together. I guess I will be commissioned to make one of those in the near future. Nicely done. Quote If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
