Members Ashley55 Posted December 2, 2019 Members Report Posted December 2, 2019 Hi there, I'm a newbie leatherworker. I've made a few small projects and have been sort of learning as I go. My latest project has been bronc nosebands. I'm just having some trouble with getting them to "shape" to the horses nose curve. I have 6/7oz tooling leather that I have been working with, and I have sewn 2 pieces together to get a good thickness. But then I've found that I cant get it to wrap down across the nose as it's so thick, it just wont bend. (I hope this makes sense) So the next one I made I wet formed into a U shape first and then sewed together. Which did give me the shape I wanted but was really tricky to sew. So my question is: what is the best way to go about this? Should I be using just a single piece of heavier leather? Or using something lighter/more flexible as the backing? Thank you for any input!
