Ian Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 That looks great Ian!! How did you get the gusset to bend so nicely, did you score it on the inside where you wanted it to bend?Brad, I bent it when it was still wet and it dried like that. Unfortunately smoothed out the border design a bit.And what weight leather did ya use - it looks like a nice blend of flex and strength. I'm getting ready to make one for ma wife's scoot :0)Jeep, that's 8 oz Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/

MADMAX22 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Thats a good job Ian. You got a nice color out of it and good stamping. I like the design with the gussets and the gusset flaps as part of the side D mounts. Quote

Ian Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Posted January 15, 2009 I love the black version!! LOL!! Just kidding. Beautiful, professional work. Now show us the vinegaroon version!!! Thanks Bree, but I'm pretty much a dye guy vs vinegroon when it comes to black. I've tried it, but still like dye better. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Bree Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks Bree, but I'm pretty much a dye guy vs vinegroon when it comes to black. I've tried it, but still like dye better. I have never used it. But I have a batch brewing in the shop cuz these guys convinced me that it was the thing to do!! So I have about 7 or 8" of fresh steel wool sitting in a coffee can (plastic) just rusting away. When it is disgustingly rusted, then I will add my vinegar and let it brew some more. Get that nice ferric acetate and then I will see what I can do with it. I am going to see if I can generate a nice black belt out of veg tan. Quote Ride Safe!

Well, it definitely works, and I liked the color - I just don't like the smell and having to wait another day for it to dry. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
