Bawarrior Report post Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Was itching to do some work. Started this two days ago, was going to make a clock. Turning out better than I thought it would. Now what to do? Will just keep working Edited December 24, 2019 by Bawarrior Add more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheilajeanne Report post Posted December 24, 2019 I see the edges starting to curl. What thickness leather is that? It looks rather thin, and I'd suggest fastening it to some sort of backing to prevent stretching as you work on it. That's going to be some picture when you're done!! But wondering why it's the dragon that got torched and not the warrior! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bawarrior Report post Posted December 24, 2019 Maybe it was a backfire, my work your story. It's actually 9oz. Was going to mount on wood and make wood frame for clock. Now not sure, may sew on vest. It was damp, after dry, flat again. Heck really don't know what to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck123wapati Report post Posted December 24, 2019 Make a wooden frame like they used for stretching beaver and then hang it on your wall, its mighty cool work! https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=78A7426524364F7ED0EF390B927F99FEF2E54B9D&thid=OIP.v-3SPzZE0ZxPokXU3wItuwAAAA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fauctionimages.s3.amazonaws.com%2F63030%2F50792%2F43080922.jpg&exph=480&expw=391&q=stretched+beaver+pelt&selectedindex=22&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=0,1,2,6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted December 25, 2019 You could use it as a panel on anything you like: Backpack, tote, note book, binder, leather cover for a round seat, all kinds of stuff! Awesome work! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sperrier Report post Posted December 25, 2019 You could even put it in a shadow box and hang it on the wall. After all, it is a great piece of art. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisash Report post Posted December 26, 2019 Don't bring him to the England though, Our patron saint St George kills Dragons with his mighty sword Very nice skilled work, looks great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bawarrior Report post Posted December 26, 2019 Actually its mostly 19" Circular shape might be to big for some of the Suggestions. Sure do appreciate all the comments and humor. Keep them coming Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxo Report post Posted December 26, 2019 It needs wispy smoke if not flames. Nice job. I'm liking the idea of a circular stretch frame with rawhide thonging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bawarrior Report post Posted December 27, 2019 Yes and I am leaning toward the beaver stretch, looks great. Was one of the first suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossr Report post Posted December 31, 2019 Nice carving I like it. What about a wooden shield. Wood would protrude beyond the leather . Glue it on maybe tack it down with decorative furniture tacks around the edge. Maybe lace around the outside too....like the wall hanging thoughts folks had too.

Riem Report post Posted January 1, 2020 @toxoOne... hot... dragon, that! Especially if it were to have that wispy smoke per suggestion by toxo. My vote would be for a nice clock face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck 123 thanks your welcome, darn if I knew you were going to buy one I could have made one I can collect all the willow a person would ever need. I guess I forget how free and open Wyoming is still is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
