Thanks again for the nice words. The customer came an picked up this first one, and was very happy with it. Now if I can get the other 4 to turn out the same way.

WWH...I must confess...on this project I did do a little drawing on paper before I started. I laid the the size of the can, drew the border things, and then drew 3 flowers to get the spacing right and to make sure the vines coming out of the flowers would fit. When I saw that everything looked like it would work, I went to carving. But still didn't transfer anything to leather. Just kinda went with it. One day, I'll undoubtedly get myself into a serious jam doing it the way I do I'm sure. But for now, it seems to working. Thanks again for the compliments.

I forgot to mention that I really liked the colored center of the one flower. Nice touch!

WWH....that is actually a closeup showing one of the "erupting flowers". There are 4 other flowers with colored centers throughout the design. In fact, those colored centered are a great example of my "thinker" not fully dialed in before I start cutting and pounding away. Not all of the other 4 centers are that type of center, and consequently the colored part on some doesn't show up very well at all. I told the customer that I was going to go a slightly different route on the following 4 cans.
