Members royslsbry Posted October 7, 2010 Members Report Posted October 7, 2010 Here is a picture frame I just finished. take a look and let me know what you think. Quote
King's X Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Very nice design. I like the rope around the pix placement. Did you ever consider embossing the scene below the picture placement? Just an idea for next time to consider. Thanks for sharing! Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp
Members royslsbry Posted October 7, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 7, 2010 I didn't really spend much time on this less than an hour and didn't really give much thought to it. I do appreciate the advice. I haven't been carving over a month. I mostly make rodeo chaps and I just basket weave and stamp Initials on the yokes.I just recently got interested in carving. I'll take any advice I can get. Thanks. On 10/7/2010 at 4:43 AM, King said: Very nice design. I like the rope around the pix placement.

LNLeather Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I Like it, I Like it! Say, how did you do the back of the picture frame? Will it hang, or stand up? Good work! I really like your horse & rider. I'd be proud to use that frame!

Members joquarter Posted October 7, 2010 Members Report Posted October 7, 2010 'Keep on carving horses , great idea . Maybe a little more background? Did you skive the edges? Quote Greets jo-quarter www.e-leather.nl
Members royslsbry Posted October 7, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 7, 2010 The pic frame just stands up. But you cold tack a hook on the back to hang it. What I did was took a premade wood frame that you buy at Family dollar for a buck .Glued the leather to the frame and then cut the edges to fit and then took my razor knife and turned it at an angle and followed the edge of the frame at a slant. I could probably do a little more in the back ground but I make these fast ( right at an hour) and sell them for $35.00. I try to keep it simple and fast to make it worth my time and make them reasonable to sell. I put your name on the frame if someone wants it. I sell them at the rodeo and do all the events mutton bustin, bull riding, barrel racing, goat tying, shoot doggin and pole bending and so far every one likes them. I had to come up with something since the economy got slow and every parent will turn loose $35.00 for frame especially with their kid's name on it and event. Quote
