Chief31794 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 Sort of a slow week, put these out so far. A 44" Rifle Sling with a Fox carved on it, a Banjo Strap, and two wallets, one I'd already posted. Thanks for looking. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"

Members Halitech Posted October 25, 2014 Members Report Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) great work as always Chief is the braiding on the last wallet just the round braid done flat? It looks really nice Edited October 25, 2014 by Halitech Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Chief31794 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Posted October 26, 2014 great work as always Chief is the braiding on the last wallet just the round braid done flat? It looks really nice It is a one over, one under braid, but it's done with two pieces of lace not one. Pretty easy once you get the gist of it., two rows of holes (there must be an even number), Start the first lace in the top holes centering the lace then skipping every other hole until to finish at the next to the last hole, you skip one, then cross the laces underneath to go to the next set of holes, stay consistent either left over right or right over left, at the next to the last hole bring the ends accross and glue them together underneath. Then repeat this with another piece of lace starting in the 2nd hole down and finishing the same way in the last hole, this lace will create the one over one under effect. Try it on some scrap, I do this technique on belts sometimes, it looks pretty good. Hope that helps, Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Chief31794 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Posted October 26, 2014 can you post how you finished that ? dye brands , colors etc? The rifle sling is done with Eco Flo Medium Brown Antique Gel, the Banjo strap and the plain wallet are with Fiebings British tan (cut 2 parts dye to 1 part thinner), and the applique wallet was done with Fiebings Light Brown (Cut 2 parts dye to 1 part thinner) Sorry I didn't answer your request sooner, I missed it somehow.
