Members GrayHallidayJr Posted May 20, 2017 Members Report Posted May 20, 2017 It's some kind to tribute to Jack the Ripper, titled SLASHER, for the guitarist that stabs instead of strums. It's only Rock n' Roll. Neoprene lined backing. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Once again, Awesome Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I've got the 4 hole and the 3 hole, bubble? Bump? The length measurement, is what I'm trying to say. 3 hours ago, Sofaspud said: Man, I love your work. You have a style all your own. Fantastic. Thank you! Fantasy. Art indulges imagination. It makes me very happy when other people like it. 3 hours ago, bikermutt07 said: Once again, Awesome Thanks, Boss! Quick question: A while back Tandy ran a special on saddle skirt hides for $99. I got three and am down to the last of it. It's been so tough to strip, split and carve. Glad to be finished with it. I think if I want to get better I have to invest in a better quality hide. Any hide source recommendations beyond Hermann Oak? - I know they're good. There are several options just from sponsored ads on this page. I prefer a lighter color veg tan finish- the lighter the better. Edited May 20, 2017 by GrayHallidayJr Quote
bikermutt07 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Wickett and Craig are just as good as H.O. You can buy single hides from them. You won't be disappointed.

Members billybopp Posted May 21, 2017 Members Report Posted May 21, 2017 That background is called a "bar grounder". They take a little practice to get right but the results, as you can see here, are well worth the effort. Great work! I always look forward to seeing what you come up with, Gray! Bill Quote

Really appreciate it. And thanks for the "bar grounder" intel. There's still so much of me to learn, including the names of the tools I've been using! Quote

You won't be disappointed. W/C is awsome to work with too. They will split tooling and skirting down for nothing. There traditional harness is GORGEOUS. Spent a lot of time talking to Kylie from W/C this weekend at the Sheridan show. Quote
