If that's "going in the right direction", I must be lost...lol!

Real nice job on the lettering, the ropework, and the wood grain (best I've seen)..

It all looks great Bruce!!!

How do you attach the leather to the rope can??

Thanks,

Tim

It has been a while since I posted anything recently finished. The briefcase is one I bought and covered the front. It is secured with 3/8 HiDome conchos. I have done quite a few of these over the last several years. A reasonable alternative to someone who doesn't want a fully covered one. They hold up alright, I carried my last one for quite a while. I had one customer whose horse stepped through the back of his. I just attached the front to another one and salvaged that deal for him.

I am pretty happy with the rope can too. I have dislocated my right thumb three times in two years. Doing any more than a couple floral elements was hitting the wall. I had some time out of the shop with remodeling and fixing up our place, did some physical therapy, and the rest probably helped more than anything. I did the can in one sitting and felt like I could have done another. This is the first full floral anything bigger than a checkbook I have done in two years. It isn't my best ever, but it is going in the right direction.

OMG Bruce, Your work looks great! Glad to hear your on the mend, Alan
