NEED STRIPED BASS PATTERN

[craftsman827]

I Have an order for a mens wallet.

With a striped bass comming out of the water, on one side of the wallet.

A boat on the other side.

Does anyone have,or know where to get a pattern of such?

I have something like it in Stolhman figure carving book.

But not a stripped bass.

ANY HELP would be appreacated.

Hi Craftsman-

Sorry I can't actually help on the pattern. I did wander around cyperspace for a while, looking.

And holy carp! - I found a gentleman's gallery that is unbelievable. He does fish in leather. He has one that is a 10' steelhead with a full western saddle on it - yep you gotta see this to believe it! I am not sure about link rules and such - so if this is not allowed someone smack my fingers - but do a google search for Lance Marshall Boen and take a peak at his gallery. I am still reeling!

WOW! He does some cool stuff! I LOVE the holster he has at his hip in the picture with him in front of the steelhead. That is great!

That's all I could find on "striped bass" google image search. I've been scavenging for fishinmotifs a bit today so hunting for this was no probs for me since I was in the game anyway.

Next time tell your customer to bring with the image he'd like portrayed and that it would mean a lower price too!!, lol

Can't resist posting this seal who like to eat the fishermens striped bass

You're welcome Craftsman!

Like I said, I was on a scavenge today for these type of motifs, now that I open the door to the fisihing world with rod tubes they might come handy. I just love to make tooling designs from tattoo art sincethose designs from start is thought of going on a hard media/canvas but fishing is way underrated there only lots of Jap koi fish.

I'm really looking forward to see that wallet!!
