rktaylor Report post Posted June 24, 2019 This is my attempt at a floral pattern for a saddle cantle back. This is the right half of the cantle. The left will be mirrored. The boundaries are yet to be determined since I haven't fit the piece, but I am guessing this will fill the entire cantle back. I hope to finish tolling this tonight to see how it looks. I had to (at least that's what I told the wife) order some new tools for this and they should be in soon. There are some elements I like and some that don't quite flow. I welcome critical assessments from everyone. While I have a lot of room for improvement, I will say that drawing patterns is coming easier after taking a class from @hidepounder at Prescott and buying Sheridan Style Carving by Bill Gardener & Clinton Fay. Thanks for the feedback, Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rbarleatherworks Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Looks great to me Randy, although I am still struggling with my own carvings so maybe someone with more experience may have some feedback for ya. Take Care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rktaylor Report post Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks Regan, I've been thinking about this and will have another design soon. I hope things are going well up north. It's terribly wet here, but it'll probably be too dry soon. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
