Members Matt Alsaker Posted November 19, 2012 Members Report Posted November 19, 2012 This is my first attempt to inlay exotic hides. A couple previous posts from Katsass really helped. I don't know if the exotic hide is a snake or lizard, it's from a remnants bag from Springfield. I cut the window, then took the piece of window that I had cut out and trimmed it down some. I then glued it to the back of the exotic hide. I glued and stitched the hide into place, then put the lining leather on the back of the entire thing. The trimmed piece from the window that I glued to the back helped push the exotic hide forward, raising it up some. Feedback would really be appreciated. Trying it on a scrap piece of exotic hide is one thing, doing it on something that costs me a pretty penny is another. Should I reduce the size of the exotic hide? Is there too much? Thanks in advance for the feedback. Quote http://www.alsakercustomleather.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AlsakerCustomLeather?ref=hl
Members Sixer Posted November 19, 2012 Members Report Posted November 19, 2012 I think it looks great Matt! Stitching is nicely spaced and looks good, the leather in the "window" is nice and burnished, and the inlay size looks about perfect to me. Nice work!
