rustyj58 Report post Posted February 24, 2019 Made this for my Grandsons 13th Birthday. I made the pattern myself and I was surprised to see it come together as well as it did. It was a wee bit tight getting the book covers into the slots but once in it seemed to fit perfect. I was unhappy with the basket weave but no one else much notices it so I need to quit being so hard on myself. I was going to do a more detailed dye job but I decided to just keep it SIMPLE as simple usually ends up being better. Well, What do you think? I do like the feed back. Happy tooling, Rusty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post Posted February 24, 2019 Beautiful job. I like the red thread too, its not quite a contrast but is off color enough from the leather to catch your eye. You done good Sir. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JazzBass Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Great job! I especially like the wood grain of the cross, and, as mentioned, your choice of the red thread is wonderful. I can see where YOU would have a problem with the basket weave - the border being more noticeable than any slight unevenness in the pattern, BUT - it is only because it's being analyzed on the millimeter level, as we all do, in order to improve our work. Everyone else will see the item as a whole, and it most certainly looks beautiful. Heck, I wish my basketweave looked that good. Yes, be proud of this one - you absolutely earned it, sir. Period.
