What's Your Favorite Basket Stamp?

[JD Alan]

I'm wondering what you guys use for Basket Stamps. I have most of the Crafttool stamps, and 3 of Barry King's. I would like one a little bigger with longer legs. Anyone have any recomendations?

Thanks, JD

I have about 30 Barry King and 35 Weaver. 35 Kelly and use these the most. I have mixture of mabe 200 crafttools ect but once u use the others these are mostly being looked at only. The Barry King I bought all in the last month. There spendy but worth it. KT

I have 3 out of 6 sizes of Barry's rope center basket stamp, but I don't have the largest one, so perhaps that should be my next choice. I can't find any examples of Bob Beard basket stamps to look at on line, but I would sure like to see some.

Thanks WC & ACE

Basket stamps aren't all that hard to make. You could get one with longer legs on it that way. The hand made stamps are nice and crisp, too. Here's one I made when I wanted something different.

That's a nice BW pattern Marshal. I haven't had the hair to try making my own tools yet.

Well done Will, that's as nice looking as any I've seen, that's a good art to have, knowing how to make your own stamps would really make it nice when you're looking for something special, is that a coaster you made your stamping on, great idea, you can advertise at the same time.

CK, you sure do have good comebacks! Saying a basket stamp is easy to make to me is like saying taking a trip to the moon is easy!

JD,

Without a sense of humor life would be, uh.... well, serious.

CK,

Life is just tooooo short to be serious!!   Folks that take themselves seriously aren't fun to be around!!  Laugh a lot and life is good!!

JD,

Me being a bit of a smart-a$$ helps too although not everyone appreciates my talents in that respect!   I try to keep it toned down in polite company. 

Safe trails,

Thanks, CK, Ace, TW. Making your own tools isn't a big deal. If you screw it up, toss it and start again.

TW, that is a coaster. I like to make them from the scraps I have left over. After it's tooled, I glue another piece of leather to the bottom, flesh sides together. Then when you burnish the edges, it has a real finished look.

Well said.
