Tkleather1 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Well I havent fallen off the face of the earth, Just been real busy and havent done much worth posting. Mainly been doin some plain headstalls and hobbles and other just plain using gear, but then I finally got an order for a pair of rodeo chaps. These are a pair of buckskin bodies with black trim, and black accents,two layers of fringe. These are fairly straight forward with full floral yokes and side panels. Let me know what you all think. Sorry I havent been around to chat with everyone lately just busy with school and the shop stuff. Hope everyone is having a great day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrampaJoel Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Hey Tim. It's good to see your still cutting leather. They look very nice. I like the colors and the leg styling. Sure is a lot of work tied up in this pair. I am wondering. How do you do the back belt lacing straight up and down like you do?. Care to share? Thanks Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulefool Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Those are real classy. I'm personally not crazy about the ones with the gaudy colors, but these look sharp. Chris Tornow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tkleather1 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Well thanks all, Wyndelle these are 5/6 bodies with 8/9 yokes and sides. The back belt is real simple just lace it through like you are lacing shoes and then pull the loose ends back under the wraps you made, that seems to secure it just fine. And I am with you Chris I like the more natural colors. I think sometimes less is more. Thanks again and if anyone has any suggestions or questions let em fly.

Tkleather1 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 haha thanks CarvedOn These ones are sold to a good friend of mine and of course that means that I bid the job WAY TO LOW. I am pretty sure I could get half again as much to someone else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
