Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted November 16, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted November 16, 2018 This was a custom order from a customer. She wanted a lanyard to hold her ID and have floral carving on it. It was my first time making something like this but it turned out to be a fun little project and she loved the final result. Going to need to make a few more of these to have in stock. Quote
Members ComputerDoctor Posted November 16, 2018 Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 Very nice indeed Sam Quote
Members battlemunky Posted November 16, 2018 Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 That may be the best backgrounding work with a seeder I've ever seen. Your floral work is really nice too Quote
alpha2 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Posted November 16, 2018 I noticed the excellent backgrounding too! Not that the flowers aren't first rate too. I doubt that anyone that wasn't into carving leather would be immediately drawn to the background, but we are! Jeff Quote

And yes they take quite a bit of practice to keep it even. That is one of the 2 backgrounding tools I started out with many years ago. Tom Quote

Members bdpeters Posted November 20, 2018 Members Report Posted November 20, 2018 Nice job with the whole thing but like others have indicated, very nice job with the bar grounder. It is nice to see a superb example as this is one tool I am trying to get the hang of. Quote
