Moderator Johanna Posted January 12, 2008 Moderator Report Posted January 12, 2008 JR, I'm glad you figured out posting pictures, your work is gorgeous. Do you draw your own scroll designs?

Members steveh Posted January 12, 2008 Members Report Posted January 12, 2008 Very high quality work. very nice decoritive cuts on bucking rolls and cantel binding, looks very challenging to do.Your tooling is excellent, excellent scroll work, excellent under and overlaps of the vines at the transition points, with very little background work. what type off tree?, what kind of leather? steve Quote

And the leather is Hermann Oak. Thanks for all the positive words. Quote
