New to leatherworking

Recommended Posts

Hi

my names Paul and I'm relativly new to western saddle making and carving, but have been messing around with longbows and rawhide for awhile now.

Joined, cause theire ai't that many people over hear doing this sort of thing, and would love to hear from any body here whose from the UK or Europe. Doing items from books etc is'nt quite the same as seeing and feeling other peoples work to compare or see my mistakes and one day I'd love to visit Texas.

Howdy Paul,

If you come to Texas you'd be welcome. Someday I'd like to visit Scotland and see why my G-Granddad left there; something about the queen taking his guns and getting all his folks killed off. I think they were all deserters ... lol ... pulled up stakes just before the clearances. ...

Bows and rawhide, now that sounds fun. Quivers, rawhide strings?

Welcome to Jo's Leather Den ... lol

Talk later,

Bill

Well not much has changed since your grandad left and if my ancester had done the same as your's, I would'nt be here making bows to just shoot at dangerous cardboard targets!!

May be over next year - my wife went to school at places like Kitty hawk and there is rumours of a school reuion, but apart from that I would love to see loads of places.
