Moderator immiketoo Posted April 22, 2013 Moderator Report Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Tried the hand carved basket weave on this one. Its a rough test of concept and I made some errors, but its not bad. Still needs the holes punched, but you get the idea. Edited April 22, 2013 by immiketoo Quote Learnleather.com

Moderator immiketoo Posted April 24, 2013 Author Moderator Report Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks guys... its a cool pattern, but its a PITA. Quote Learnleather.com
Members keplerts Posted April 26, 2013 Members Report Posted April 26, 2013 Great Job! I like the design. Also, I love the thread you used. Isn't that the braided cord from Tandy? I think it is a great thread to work with and so many colors. Quote
Members LederRudi Posted April 26, 2013 Members Report Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) It took me a while to realize that the basketweave literally is "carved" as opposed to "stamped". Fabulous work! What kind of a beveler did you use? Is it triangle-shaped? Edited April 26, 2013 by LederRudi Quote "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" Tuco Ramírez
Moderator immiketoo Posted April 26, 2013 Author Moderator Report Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks Rudi... It's a pointed beveler. And yes, it is. Quote Learnleather.com
