Contributing Member rdb Posted January 31, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted January 31, 2010 Just a simple tank bib with spots. Customer designed shape. I had not seen foam inserted before so that's why I did it...lol. Actually has a nice effect. It's not braided or anything, but it just looked cool to me.... 2 layers of 3/4 oz veg cow, with foam between. Dunked in neatsfoot oil/black pro oil dye mix. I've already got 32 new ideas for the next ones. Quote Web page Facebook
Members Storm Posted January 31, 2010 Members Report Posted January 31, 2010 Very cool! Now waiting for ideas 2 through 32! Storm Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Contributing Member rdb Posted January 31, 2010 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 31, 2010 Thanx Storm! Wouldn't want you to wait too long, so here's at least half of them... double-stitched, grommetted corners, or looped ss rings, inside braid along edges, quilted foam, exotic inserts, tooled edges, tooled carving in center, different spot patterns, crystals instead of spots, braided edge, rolled edge, welted edge, three pockets in a triangle shape, sunburst dyed instead of black, copper rivets instead of spots, cartridge rivets, vinegarooned, hair on insert, ceramic magnets for hold down instead of ties, hole in center for fill hole centered tanks (like pommel bags), 12 buckled straps running side to side to buckle around tank... I'll save the rest for me...lol, perfectly willing to listen to some of yours... Quote Web page Facebook

Tandy has a cool shotgun shell concho. 2. Get a box of empty shell casings and cut them down so you only have the base and use a small rivet in place of the primer cap. In this manner you can have a variety of calibera available...like .45 or 9mm and so forth. Want to think about the really decernibg customer then a fully hand tooled panel held in place with quality hand chased silver buckles. Then throw in a matching tool bad and a pair of saddle bags and you have an iron horse any cowboy would like to own. Might as well do a matching seat to complete the whole thing. Check out the attached. Lord have mercy!!! Be still my foolish heart! Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
