Members plinkercases Posted July 20, 2018 Members Report Posted July 20, 2018 Vintage chaps often had pockets but usually exterior ones... last week I did see pair advertised with "rare inside" pockets like Roland has made. Roland more flowers, leaves and vines... less back ground!!!

I'm working on how to fill up the space a little better and keeping a better circular flow of the carving. Each one gets a little better... Quote
Members RegisD Posted July 21, 2018 Members Report Posted July 21, 2018 Mighty fine leather work and your carving is just outstanding! Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.

I find chap yokes to be one of the most difficult patterns to draw. Odd shape, small spaces next to large spaces. It's hard to design a pattern that flows right, but then I have trouble with that even on an easy space to fill. You did well for having no existing pattern to follow. Tell your dad to get those suckers dirty. You didn't make them to hang in the house! Quote
Members Kenl Posted July 21, 2018 Members Report Posted July 21, 2018 Fantastic work. Your Dad will be proud! Quote
Members rodneywt1180b Posted July 21, 2018 Members Report Posted July 21, 2018 Get your dad to wear them in public if you want more chap orders. I know nothing about chaps but they look great. Quote

In my opinion the background to floral design ratio is perfect for this application, as well as the flow too. And the actual tooling is super nice. I dream of the day I can draw something out like that and tool it that well too. Quote
