fredk Report post Posted October 17, 2018 The stamping and colour is nicely done However; I find those bright rivets holding the name tags on very intrusive. If you really needed to rivet them on I would have used a dark coloured rivet with a much smaller head Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ComputerDoctor Report post Posted October 17, 2018 Fred, what happened is that the much smaller jeweled rivets I wanted to use, like the 4 green ones on the perimeter, were to short to go through both pieces of hide so I used the larger, shiny ones, that I knew was a mistake:( My color is Fiebing's Buckskin and some British tan antique paste finish, buffed to a high sheen and coated with several coats of Angelus high gloss Acrylic finisher. On the back is a round piece of 4 oz, Italian leather backing. The coaster itself is 6 oz Dead steer:) The tooling was just something 'Artsy,' to add some optics to the piece.

ComputerDoctor Report post Posted October 24, 2018 I removed the silver rivets and replaced them with the smaller jeweled ones. It now proudly sits on my Friends desk at work. Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
