Members Double U Leather Posted December 23, 2011 Members Report Posted December 23, 2011 Here's the latest. Got it done just in time for Christmas. It's the last Christmas order on the books. The customer was starting to get a tad frazzled that it wouldn't get done!! No worries. Anyone, for the first one, it turned out pretty nice I think. Let me know what ya'll think. May God richly bless each of you, and remember that Christ is the only reason for Christmas. Quote

Members Rohn Posted December 23, 2011 Members Report Posted December 23, 2011 Turned out very nice. Excellent carving. Merry Christmas to you, Leatherrookie. Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted December 23, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted December 23, 2011 Love it!! You done a great job on the design and tooling. I am personally appalled at the number of folks that have no idea what the true meaning of Christmas is. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God Bless, ferg Here's the latest.

Members mcn Posted December 24, 2011 Members Report Posted December 24, 2011 Very nice!!! How did you do the darker edges? Quote
Members Morchesky412 Posted December 24, 2011 Members Report Posted December 24, 2011 WOW! the layout of your design is beautiful. The tooling itself is even more beautiful. Great job! Quote
Members particle Posted December 24, 2011 Members Report Posted December 24, 2011 That looks fantastic! Merry Christmas! Quote
Members Double U Leather Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks everyone for the very kind words. The insides were a bit of a challenge, but with some help from a couple friends who are real leatherworkers, I got it figured out. MCN.....the edges are simple. It's just dye. I dye the entire stitch area up to the first part of the border. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 24, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted December 24, 2011 Okay, dyed the edge... From the size of your photo, I wasn't sure if you dyed it or if you folded the lining over to the border and then stitched (which would also look nice - long as it was well-trimmed). Either way, I'll say it again.... This looks NICE. Quote
King's X Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 Really nice work. I really dig the two tone look. Quote
Members Mikelv Posted December 29, 2011 Members Report Posted December 29, 2011 the graphic is great!!! Here's the latest. Got it done just in time for Christmas.

Members Mike S Posted December 29, 2011 Members Report Posted December 29, 2011 That is fantastic work!! I really like the way you integrated the cross into the design! Also, the floral pattern made me think of the crown of thorns and how I imagine that Christ's resurrection would have transformed the thorns to roses!! One of these days maybe I'll be able to do something remotely similar! Not sure I have enough time left to develop that much skill though.. Mike Quote
