Bob Blea Report post 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.

battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bdpeters Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
