I use a Barry King concave checkered beveler on both edges, fits perfect. Chuck Quote
David Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Wow, That is beautiful Sheridan tooling....and that is for practice? That would be difficult at 5 times the size. Wonderful stuff. I love it Dave Theobald Quote

Wonderful stuff. I love it Dave Theobald Thanks Dave, As an old wood carver I knew that the small size would present some problems, but with my goal being what it is I had no choice. I know every piece I tool I learn something. Chuck Quote

Members Chuck Posted January 12, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2008 smolly freak holllies THAT'S PRACTICE !!?? I can't wait to see the real thing. That's outstanding Chuck ! Thanks for the comments. I draw up at least two to three Sheridan patterns a week and try to tool all of them. I make up shapes that have all types of edges and fill with Sheridan tooling, drawing the patterns has taught me a lot about that style of tooling. I really enjoy looking at other peoples beautiful tooling and leather work, I study them and try to learn. Chuck Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 12, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 12, 2008 Chuck, if that's just practice, can we see your real carvings? That's beautiful and for so small. Did you use Leather Glow to color it? Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather

Did you use Leather Glow to color it?Ken Ken, This was stained using about 2 parts Tandy Antique tan, 1 part mahagany antique stain mixed with about 2 parts TanKote. Put on liberally with a piece of sheepskin and wiped off quickly with a damp paper towel till you get about the color and shading you want. Let dry and put another coat of Tan Kote. Dries fast, just remember if you try it remove first coat quickly. Chuck Quote
