jbird Report post Posted December 18, 2010 sweet Mark do you have any pictures of the back I LOVE THE DESIGN IS IT YOUR OWN? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkB Report post Posted December 18, 2010 Here is how I do my backs on these. I put a light piece of raw hide between the lining and the front just where the circle is to help keep the lining for ripping. I like this so far and I guess you can say it is my own idea, I have never seen it be for, but I bet someone else has done it before. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just used a beveler to make the basket weave design? Do you find that easier than using the basket weave stamp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkB Report post Posted December 20, 2010 wvcraftsman I have to say no it is not easier to do it this way but I have customer that like it better than the stamped version.that was one with a swivel knife a lined beveler and a border stamp. It takes some thinking to make sure you bevel it right. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvcraftsman Report post Posted December 20, 2010 It's tough to master the stamp (which I have yet to do), without all the beveling. They look great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
