howardb Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 No pattern on this one. I sort of made it up as I went along. A friend has his Eagle COH this weekend. I only had a week to make this, so it got made out of scraps & sample bits I had. I found out from his dad that he's getting a new Case folding lockback, and this should fit it fairly well. It might be a bit wide for it, but it's the right length. I did the carve pattern from BSA clip art of the eagle badge. I used the smallest tools I have! I also have a BSA logo stamp that my wife picked up when mine started in cubs, so that got stamped on the top flap for the fun of it. Leather - sample wallet back & Live Oak sample squares Saddle tan all over front & back. Super sheen over that on the grain sides. Fiebings mahogany antique goo (probably 30 years old...), final coat of super sheen. Brent Quote
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted January 11, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 11, 2008 Brent, it looks good... that center "eagle" is that a stamp? where did you get it? Quote
TomSwede Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 A nice piece that is, love the eagle logo and the nice red tone of that dye. Good job! Tom Quote
howardb Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 Brent, it looks good... that center "eagle" is that a stamp? where did you get it? No, it's a hand tracing from the eagle badge. photos of the template and original image (from BSA website) attached. It's carved & tooled. The stamp (scout trefoil) is on the top flap. That stamp came from my local scout shop. They have all the cub ranks, an eagle, the trefoil, and a couple others available. Brent Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 11, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 11, 2008 Hey Brent, that's very good work on the Eagle and lettering, you did a great job. The stitching is very nice and clean as well. Thanks for sharing. Ken Quote
Members indypbear Posted January 11, 2008 Members Report Posted January 11, 2008 Howard, Nice work. I'm partial to Scout things as I'm an Eagle-Class of '55. I like to teach our Scouts to make things from scratch that are useful while earning the Leatherwork MB. I know that your friend will treasure the gift. As a side note-I fashioned an Eagle using my badge as an example in antique silver. It does not have BSA across the chest of the Eagle. Indy Quote
