These are not Cowboy, but I had fun making them.
I still have 2 more to lace up so I can ship them.
This one is for my Mom.

Howdy Ned
Thank you.
I've been meaning to make these for many years but kept forgetting.
I was looking through some patterns and found them and said " I can get these done by Xmas".

Hey WC can I get a copy of that pattern? I'd like to make one for myself!

Frankly, after visiting your shop this summer, I would expect nothing less than that quality of work. Those are MAJOR
COOL! Makes me want to blow my nose, oh wait, I've been doing that all week! They would make great gifts, but I doubt anyone would want to pay the money needed to cover the expense of making those works of art. Besides the great tooling, the color is really something. Nice work WC.

Howdy All
Thank you all for the kind words.

I didn't have a paper pattern, I just laid it out on tracing film.
Hope this helps.

That does help WC. What weight leather are you using? The others you shared look really great too. Especially the uncle's girlfriend, nice carving. Thanks, JD

Gun Butcher · December 12, 2009, 08:35:15 AM

WC, those are just perfect. You seem to be able to take the simplest idea and turn it into a true work of art. It never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for showing us those I think you may have solved a present problem for a lot of us.

The first 2 I did out of 6/7 and had to gouge the fold lines. The 2nd 2 I did out of 4/5 Royal Meadow and just creased the folds on the top side.
The Royal Meadow is a real light color and very soft leather so do a test of what ever color you are using before putting it on the project.
