Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 4, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted March 4, 2015 I like it, but then I"m a fisherman and I admit I had to google "spotted sea trout". That looks a LOT like what a northern boy call a WALLEYE Anyway, nice work.. look forward ta seein' the rest o' the set! Quote

Members texback Posted March 4, 2015 Members Report Posted March 4, 2015 Very nice work on the chairs. I may just have to give them a try. I'm originally from the area down there and worked at one time for the San Jose Cattle Co. Quote
Members wantedleatherworks Posted March 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 Well texback you are welcome back anytime. If you are ever in the area would love to meet you. There are never enough contacts in this craft. I made one chair showed some friends and now I have 15 to do. Quote
Members Tarawhite Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 Wow! What a great idea... Nice finish work! Quote
Members Ta2ooz Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 Looks great, we don't have walleye over here either Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted March 9, 2015 Members Report Posted March 9, 2015 We have Crappy / Bass here in the south, but no matter, Your chairs or stools are really a classic style, and your work is great. Good luck with the remainder of them . --- Wild Bill46 Quote
Members BobW Posted March 10, 2015 Members Report Posted March 10, 2015 Nice work! Are the straps stitched into the underside? If you don't mind me asking, how much are you getting for them? Quote
Members wantedleatherworks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2015 I dont have the straps stitched in they slip over the legs. I'm getting $75 for blank chair and tooling is added on top of that Quote
Members Greavous Posted April 19, 2016 Members Report Posted April 19, 2016 That is real nice! Part craftsmanship part artist. I have a lot of trouble with the art part.... We call them Specks or Speckled Trout. There is a lake near by me called Canyon Lake where I believe you will find the southern most walleye around. They were introduced to the lake back in the 60's. Ive seen them scuba diving but even when I brought along a real Yankee we couldnt catch them. Quote
