Spinner I do a lot of floral and wild life carveing. I dont do anything like that but if its carving you got me hooked. I cant wait to see it when you carve it on something. It should be a GREAT piece. KT

thats really thinking outside the box im a cowboy and a huge fan of western and sheridan carving but your sketch is really eye catching to be honest i would have never thought of it lol you have come up with an idea that appeals to a whole new group of people not just cowhands i cant wait to see it finished or even better on leather i know for a fact that with the new on the edge extreme bullriders and rodeo folk out there im sure youj turn a few heads and get some business. Anyways i have rambled on too long im looking foward to see how it turns out. Happy trails

Chris,

I think you have the makings for a great pattern! It has a lot of possibilities, but I really don't see anything "Sheridan" about it. To me it represents tat art which I think converts very nicely into tooling patterns. I think you should run with it! Can't wait to see the finished pattern!

Where is a photo of the finished product?

Hey STS - Funny you should bring this thread back to life yesterday, as I just found the drawing last night when I was unpacking a box in the new shop. Hopefully I can get back to it soon.

Hey Bobby,

It's definitely not Sheridan by and of itself, which is why I called it "....inspired". I kept (and still do) looking at Sheridan style & Graver Scrollwork patterns, trying to find something besides flowers and scrolls that would fit the same curving, looping, overlapping flow of Sheridan...I plan on adding other elements as I go along so that it's not just a big dragon orgy, things like water, bonsai branches, koi, etc. are a couple of things I thought of last night. The interesting thing will be tooling it...to do it correctly, I can already see the need for not only my usual figure carving tools but bringing in some of the floral tools like petal lifters as well.

:head_hurts_kr:

Now if I can just get my workload back under control, I'll get back to this finally and see if I can't get it onto leather one day! ;)
