TomSwede Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Thank you so much all of you! The copper was not so nice to work with, doesn't cover really well over the black dye. In due time I'll give it another try with keeping the area to be copper coloured free from dye/stain. Round lace is a favourite of mine for bracers and eyelets really sets it off. Eyelets bought in big pack saves some money. This is the first time I actually felt I was in control with doing the edges. They are just like I wan't them to be. NO GUM-TRAG just slicked with bonefolder before the casing was out and some edge beveling. Last thing before sealer I added some water to edges and slicked it to final gloss. Jorru Tina! De' e' allt gött här hemma i Svedala ibland men fy fasen vad det har regnat i sommar! Stort tack och Gävlebock! Thanks Bree! Nice to meet you! Last nite I brought the male bracer to work and tested it on a person with about the same wristsize as my customer and it fit perfect.

Members TheTrooper Posted August 19, 2008 Members Report Posted August 19, 2008 Hey Tom, nice work as always. I love those celtic patterns I have to make a Thor Hammer on one of my cue cases as well... Cheers, Marcel Quote FKA adamant-leather Feel free to visit my site adamant-leather.de
TomSwede Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Posted August 19, 2008 Thank you Marcel! A cue case like that would rock so I really endorse that idea! Let me know if you need an image of it to trace from. Perhaps the metallic dyes I use can be found in Germany?? They're made in denmark by company ROC. http://www.roc.dk/ Only in Danish but maybe they answer an E-mail in English or German? They don't list where it's sold as far as I can tell.
