How Do I Cut A Beveled Border Like The One Here?

[SouthernCross]

In Mosby's tutorial, the outer border lines appear to have a bevel....what tool do I use to do that? http://www.greyghostgraphics.com/images/Bweave%20for%20web.pdf

I would probably use a spoon modeling tool, . . . that bevel is going to go bye-bye when the border is stamped anyway, . . . so it really is not critical as to what tool is used.

May God bless,

It looks to me like the border line was scribed, cut with a swivel knife and then beveled with a smooth beveller. Like Dwight said, the bevel for the most part will go away but it does give it some "depth". Just my opinion.

Thanks, gentlemen.

Tex,can you provide me a link to such a beveler, please - I don't find anything on Tandy's site.

Well .... these are just 3 but they have 12 or more.

It may also have been done with the nylon beveler that fits in a swivel knife or a push beveler. Either make short and smooth work of a long straight line like this.

In Stohlman's Booklet on leather tools he show how to make something similar by cutting down a smooth beveler tool and mounting it into a handle.
