Members SOSHorses Posted March 7, 2011 Members Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) My newest creation A Waylon Jennings Style Trophy Purse. Edited March 7, 2011 by SOSHorses Quote SOSHorses SOS Leatherworks
Members SOSHorses Posted March 7, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 7, 2011 This is the purse that I was asking lacing questions about. I had already punched the round holes before another member enlightened me about the flat holes for lacing. The lacing on my next piece will look much better. I also think I got my lacing to far apart on the buck stitch. But it is a lesson learned and I know it is not perfect. I didn't have a pattern or instructions to work from so I think it turned out ok. The lady that commissioned the piece is happy and that is all that really matters. However I can see things that I would do differently next time. For instance I did blacken the leather with Vinagroon this time. I am not sure that I would do that next time. I know it is nicer because the black will never run or rub off but getting the white to be really white over black is a major pita. If anyone has any good ideas on how to make that work better please share. It took MORE than three coats of the Fiebings White Acrylic to cover the black and doing that without losing the detail is a very trying task. I have one more black and white project. An actual Waylon Guitar that I am having the same problem on. Grrr is all I can say. Quote SOSHorses SOS Leatherworks

Members newfiebackflip Posted March 8, 2011 Members Report Posted March 8, 2011 Waylon was a whooole lot more than The Highwaymen, Newf. I just grew up listening to those guys. Don't know much more about Waylon as I do Johnny Quote
Members SOSHorses Posted March 9, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 9, 2011 Yep you have the right Waylon. LOL and yes he was much more than the Highwaymen. Hopefully (if life will work with me) I will have the guitar done in a about a week maybe two. I know I would like to get it out of my shop. Quote SOSHorses SOS Leatherworks

Members CowboyDon Posted March 26, 2011 Members Report Posted March 26, 2011 Beautiful purse - That is a is a true tribute to the man who gave Billy Joe Shavers $100.00 USD to walk away from Outlaw music - Billy Joe told Waylon keep your DANG $100.00 I am a singer - Waylon asked him to get on his bus and the rest is history --- Waylon was so much more than a highway man - but he was also a member of that million dollar outlaw group too . Thanks for sharing your work with all of us. Quote Thank you, Cowboy Don @ Hard Life Leather "Save a horse - Ride a Motorcycle" Garland, Texas USA
