Lwleather Report post Posted March 2, 2011 I'm just now starting to do some tooling (other than the good ole basket stamp) . And me and the dyeing aren't seeing eye to eye just yet. But I think it's coming around. The last pic is a pair of chinks I just finished. Any feedback would be great. Thanks!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lwleather Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Nice job. What font did you use for the lettering? Umm.. I don't remember... I just kept looking at different ones until I found one I liked. But I can find it if you like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtclod Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I think your tops would look better if you filled in with basket weave around your makers mark. Theirs to much dead / empty space there. Nice job though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LonnieChambers Report post Posted March 4, 2011 Nice leg design. It is nice to see some creativity and different ideas. Have you ever thought about running your baskett stamp diagnal. Instead of horizontal. I have found with smaller, long project that if I stamp my basket stamp diagnaly that there is less of a chance you will see a missalinment problem in your basket stamp. I fill that when you try to tool something with streight lines and you make even the slightest mistake then who ever is looking at that project there eyes natraily draw to the uneveness in the streight lines. Does anyone have any of the same feelings on the basket stamp as me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any of the same feelings on the basket stamp as me. I've done it both ways. It's just kind of whatever mood strikes at the time. If you're looking for the screw ups, you're going to see them no matter what direction they run is my thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
