YinTx Report post Posted March 28, 2018 Well, after a long hiatus, I got some parts and put the hardware in! So it is finally finished. For those that followed my post in "The Eagle has NOT landed..." this is the first figure carving I attempted, back in August of '17 if I remember correctly. Some things I wasn't happy with, others I really liked. Comments and suggestions welcome! I'll try to post a pic of the back... YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an irrational fear of mauling a perfectly fine piece of leather for a long time. I happened to acquire a large stack of veg tan, helped me get over that quick, as I need to convert it into product! I have a fair sized pile of rejects tho...

I hope I can do something even half as good as you have done here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if I will be able to do as well on my second time around now... YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMixx Report post Posted March 30, 2018 Very nice!! The feather on the back is wonderful--continues the design and theme without duplicating the front. And beautifully detailed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndskinned Report post Posted April 3, 2018 I love that when you turn it over there is a little treat. It just makes the whole thing more complete, more satisfying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sceaden Report post Posted October 14, 2018 Beautiful eagle! I really like that pattern and it has been a best seller for me. I might need to steal the feather on the back idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
