Froghunter Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I was asked to make a leather pick guard for a friend and I got a chance to throw one together today. The only direction I was given was that he wanted something with an oriental flair. I think the Koi is perfect. I took the original plastic guard and laminated some 1oz calfskin on it then tooled it up. I haven't had a chance to dye and finish it yet, maybe tomorrow after work, but here it is, let me know what you think.

tashabear Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 That's gorgeous! I have a biker friend who's a guitarist and has a koi tattoo -- he was going to have my husband airbrush a helmet for him, but changed his mind. I'd better not let him see this, or I'm going to be volunteered for another project! (Except I'm totally showing him this.) Quote
Members JustWakinUp Posted August 23, 2008 Members Report Posted August 23, 2008 Looks nice frog, I've been wanting to do some koi stuff as well, but i'm affriad of fish. Quote
Ambassador freak Posted August 23, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted August 23, 2008 I'm impressed with the design and how well it looks. I'm a huge fan of Japanese style art and their tattoos. I'm blown away by the death and detail of the tooling on freakin 1oz. leather. Blown away i tell ya. Nice Job !!!! **turns to the rest of the forums** Hey did you see that ? And that's on 1oz. leather ? Yeah, 1oz. ... Yeah, i know , it freakin rocks, rite !! Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW
