Double U Leather Report post Posted June 20, 2011 This was my entry in the Art of the Cowboy Makers show. I"m sure it didn't win much. I was kinda rushing to get it done before I headed the state HS Finals rodeo. The rodeo didn't turn out very well either. I felt horrible for my son. He worked so hard all year long to wind up short. Oh well....such is life. The stitching on this had couple ducks, the photos are "craptacular", the San Marcos border had some glitches, and the construction was a completely new way of doing things for me. Aside from that, it was okay....LOL. Be blessed ya'll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystal Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I think it looks great! I am a huge fan of filigree work and to me it looks hard to do. Probably why I have never tired it!

Ferg Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I think the fact you rushed it shows. Your photograph is skewed so the stitch line may be also. If not you need to make a mark for the stitch line and follow it. Your stamping and carving are well done but I would get rid of the Bucking Bronco unless you carved it, then don't use black as a finish. The Meander tool is a difficult tool to use, you done a good job but the design lacks something. I would need to see it to clarify that statement. ferg This was my entry in the Art of the Cowboy Makers show. I"m sure it didn't win much.
