Rawhide Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I got a question from Spider asking 'Where's your stuff?', so I decided to post a picture with a couple of things I'm working on. Enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I'm a sucker for the big cats, but WOW that owl is very nice. I'm working on four 3 ring binders for a customer. First one (this one) is actually done already, but I've not gotten pics of that. It's stained mahogany with the new eco flo paste. Loved it....'til I put leather sheen on top and it took off half the color and made some swirls (knew I just should've used Aussie Wax - managed to fix it though)...then something scratched a light gouge line by the top right of the design! So I've put it away in a box to keep it safe 'til delivery... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rawhide Report post Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the compliments. I screwed up the legs and feet of the owl with the dye I had, but this wasn't for anyone in particular, I just wanted to see how it was going to look as an applique embossing. The big cat is blind embossed a bit for a little dimension. It will be a notepad cover. I didn't want to get too extreme with the embossing, because it's probably going to be a heavy use item. That binder cover is really nice. I'd love to see the finished piece. Me likes the Aussie Wax. I also like Tan Kote and Leather Balm with Atom Wax.

calanneh Report post Posted November 16, 2008 Looks great Marlon!! Keep the pix coming!!! William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I'll probably post them all at once before I deliver them. I'm most of the way through the second one...have to assemble it, hole punch, and start stitching tomorrow. I had an easier time with the shene this time 'round. Still got some swirling. You're the only other person I've heard from who likes Aussie Wax! I use it almost exclusively. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
