Jdavies Report post Posted October 21, 2009 Just finished this last week. Built on a Rod Nikkel tree. Tooling is a mixture of double border intertwined with flowers and leaves. My tooling is still a little rough so feel free to critique tooling or saddle. Photos could have been better, but my wife was gone and I was on my own with the camera.

King's X Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I was checking out your cool TAPS and I noticed that you have a great defined ridgeline around your flower petals. May I ask if you bevel this are first and then pearshade them? Very nice work on the saddle. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mulefool Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I really like your overall design and the combination of the floral with the geometric. Your style is a little different. In a good way. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
