Members tparish75 Posted December 13, 2014 Members Report Posted December 13, 2014 Your tooling is rich. I really admire it. Transparency sheets can be glued to the flesh side of your carved piece. This should protect the photograph from direct exposure to the leather. Quote
IngleGunLeather Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks t! I like the transparency sheet idea. I wound up getting this framed and now have glass behind the leather. Quote Ingle Gun leather

Country could you post a picture of what you've done. I'm a little confused, what you carved is a picture frame, the heart cuts out for a picture to fit in. Are you saying you got the frame framed?

Members Grey Drakkon Posted December 14, 2014 Members Report Posted December 14, 2014 Actually it seems to be more like a mat, which fits into a frame, than a stand alone frame. I could be mistaken though. Quote "Everyone with telekinesis, raise my hand!" -Repairman Jack
IngleGunLeather Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Posted December 18, 2014 This could be a stand alone frame if a backing was put on. I wound up using this the same way a mat would be used in a standard frame. Quote Ingle Gun leather
Members Troy Burch Posted December 18, 2014 Members Report Posted December 18, 2014 That looks really good used as a matte. It is mean't to be a stand alone frame, I have the complete pack of patterns for them. Nice tooling. Troy Quote
IngleGunLeather Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks Troy! After sending this to the local frame shop I stumbled across a video on Tandy's leather craft library site. It shows how to make a leather backing. I like the framing though and the one I'm working on now will be framed as well. Be sure to share one of yours when you can. Happy tooling! Quote Ingle Gun leather
