Elton Joorisity Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Just finished these up. I vow to never build another pair of hair on's. I have only built 2 pair in my entire career.Here's a close up of the tops Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
ArtS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 They look great! Whats the problem with making them? Is it keeping the hair laid down while you're sewing it? You say you won't make another then somebody comes in with a big wad full of money in their hand for ya. Just make sure you over price it. ArtS Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything.

TomSwede Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Wow Elton, those are way nice! I like it when you play with those metallic colours. Don't know if this is very common with chaps but I don't see too much of it in other types of leatherwork. I like the way you use it to accent your designs rather than build up the designs around the "fancy bits". Hope to see more!

Elton Joorisity Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 I never want to build another pair because it seems that no matter how much glue you slather on the hair, the next layer still wants to float around!! As for charging, he's got around $900 into these. Bullrider's like to spend money to look cool. Thanks to all of you for the compliments.

ArtS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 LOL I was just thinking that the name of this topic sounds like you're talking about a group of guys in England. I say - look at those hairy chaps. ArtS Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
