Just finished this for one of the truck drivers at my work. Interior is from Springfield Leather.

nice job on your lacing and the serpentine border. You did pretty good on keeping the tri-weave straight but you can see areas where it's off a bit once you hit the edges. The tri-weave is a bugger to keep on track.

I was actually quite impressed you were able to keep it straight after going around the lettering.  I manage to botch that on a regular basis.  Nicely done!

Thanks Halitech and YinTx. I appreciate the kind words.  That damn triweave is my bane! I love the look when it's done well, but you're right about getting off in a few spots.  I used the medium size Craftool, which seems to be easier to keep on line than the small one. One of these days I am going to splurge on one of Barry King's, but for now I can't justify the expense. 

To critique myself, I wish I had not used the serpentine in the very corner.  I prefer the look of a solid "spade" shape in the corner, but I got in a hurry and put the stamp in one corner without thinking it through, so I had to do it in all four corners.  Oh well, another learning experience.

Looks awesome! Is that color a saddle tan antique? You also did great on the lacing. No way I could tell where you started and ended.

Thanks Roland. Color is diluted fiebings British tan, Resolene resist, then Fiebings medium brown antique. Letters colored with Fiebings cordovan.
