Members Tina Posted January 31, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2008 That carving is so perfect it doesn't look real, I think I will just throw out everything I own and go to church. Kevin I'm a bit of a neat freak I guess :angel_not: (I actually wish I could let go sometimes) Clay...Here is some pictures of the lions and the "quilting" as I call it. I used a checkerd beveler towards both ends. Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Contributing Member BillB Posted January 31, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 31, 2008 I just wrote the name that was in Al Stohlmans book - "tripple loop"... I guess I never noticed the use of two names for the same stitch until recently. I have the Al Stohlmans Book as well as F. O. Baird's Leather Secrets (1976 revised Edition) (uses cordovan) as well as How to Lace (22nd Edition) (uses cordovan) and Braiding and Lacing for Fun (1962) (uses Loop). I wonder if it was a regional thing and depending on which region of the country it was Loop or Cordovan. I guess I never noticed since I keep the How to Lace book on may work table for reference. Interesting..... I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks or at least new names. 8-) Quote Bill B. Nead
