Contributing Member SooperJake Posted September 1, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2012 Does anyone know of a good maple leaf pattern... something similar to the Al Stohlman holster book where he has the flapped holster with oak leaves? Thanks, Jake Quote Once you know what the magician know.... it isn't magic anymore.
Members DoubleC Posted September 1, 2012 Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 Hey Jake, I just bought a maple leaf stamp. But when I'm looking for patterns, what I use is a search for, well in this case, maple leaf coloring pages. They're free to print out, and in b/w so easy to trace.

KAYAK45 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Jake! Hello, you live in tree country! Go get a leaf..great pattern.. those darn leaves. think maybe flattened they will give you ideas???? Kevin Tight Stitch to You. Quote Once believed in GOD and the DOllAR...... Hello God!
Members mcn Posted September 2, 2012 Members Report Posted September 2, 2012 Tandy had a free maple leaf corner pattern that I am adjusting for a holster pattern. I can't find it on there site anymore so I will attach it here. If that doesn't work I could email you the PDF Quote
Contributing Member SooperJake Posted September 2, 2012 Author Contributing Member Report Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks for help, folks. I've been looking through a stack of my woodworking magazines...I know I had a pattern for a cutting board or something from Wood magazine, from back in the 80's, but I'll be darned if I can find that issue. I have hundred of issues of woodworking magazines and perhaps a hundred differnent books too.( My former occupation), so they all kind of run together in my memory. Kayak, you're right...I'm just going to have to sit down and create my own pattern. I suppose I can copy the basic layout of the existing holster and replace the oak leaves and acorns with keys and maple leaves. DoubleC, how big is the stamp? mcn: thanks for the pattern. I wonder how well Bobby's new book will translate over from floral to leaf? Drawing the leaves isn't the issue..I'm more handicapped on the layout/ flow part of it.

Members DoubleC Posted September 2, 2012 Members Report Posted September 2, 2012 The one I got because I didn't have to buy a 35.00 set is around 1/2 x 1/2" Bigger than I wanted but an individual stamp. Saw them from 1/4th (the 35.00 set) to an inch on eBay Jake. It was I think 7.99 and free shipping? Go to LW tools and treatments there and you'll see all kinds of maple leaf stamps. Well I mean run a search for them after you get to T & T :-) Good Luck, Cheryl Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Contributing Member SooperJake Posted September 3, 2012 Author Contributing Member Report Posted September 3, 2012 I'm more interested in something life-sized, but thanks for the info. Jake Quote Once you know what the magician know.... it isn't magic anymore.
Members DoubleC Posted September 3, 2012 Members Report Posted September 3, 2012 Oh....on a holster? I think I'd run a scan of a real leaf then then use that for a carving pattern. Actually I've never scanned foliage before, what good idea. LOL Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl

Jake Jake, Bobby's book is about planning out and executing your pattern so it flows and is uniform with uniform spacing. It should really translate well, afterall, leaves are leaves. Bob Quote
