Members Traveller Posted July 8, 2008 Members Report Posted July 8, 2008 That's incredible work, Pella! My eyes would be totally crossed -- and would stay that way forever -- if I had to do all that stitching by hand. Beautiful. Quote
Members pella Posted July 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2008 top leather is skived in the center of noseband. I use another thicker skived leather for lining, i glue 2 round leather lace on it, then moisten the top leather, glue it on the lining, shape it with a little tool like a spoon around laces, thats tricky to get it straight. Then i have to cut the edges straight (you may want to cut noseband larger first because with raising, is get narrower), sand, dye, finish, glue that part on the calfskin padding, then stitch. well, a lots of steps. I'll try to put a picture of "inside" (i have a sample piece here) the raised part to show you, you'll understand better. Quote
