browco01 Report post Posted September 1, 2020 Finally took the plunge and bought a Cowboy 3200 (used) from someone nearby. This is my first piece. Bought 2 noseband cutouts to start with and already had the hair on hide. Used Fiebing's Leather Dye in Chocolate but need to find one that's a little more on the medium side as this one is plenty dark. The conchos I already had, ordered them from Ridge Stone Conchos (Facebook) a while back. Learned a few things already but excited to get making some more stuff. Have a 24"x24" piece of leather to work on the next projects and have more stuff coming in the mail. I'm hoping to figure out a good process for adding spots and crystals because a lot of examples I've seen (on Facebook from sellers) they do the spots after sewing and a lot of the time the spots are over the thread. Not sure if that will mess with the integrity of the thread or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hags Report post Posted September 3, 2020 Great job! I took the plunge and bought a cobra class 3. What difference it makes. Could you put the bling on a separate piece of leather and sew it on. Might not hurt the structural (?) stitching that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
