What tools would you use for this pattern? Looks like three parallel equal size beads with a chevron cutting into the center every 3/8 ths inch or less.

Hi

I'd suggest two border tools - maybe D434 and D606. For the middle one, that's a mulefoot that starts with the letter U. There are several that look like that. It's just a question of size. To make the parallel lines, it's easiest to use dividers with one leg running along the edge of the leather. Do you have the Tandy catalog? The Craftools are listed there. Skeet

The 2 dbl lines look like they were done with a beader blade.

Howdy, I have a double edged ceramic blade that cuts those parallel lines. I use a little white tool attached to the blade that hangs on the edge of the leather or you can free hand it on a marked line.  I would also bevel those lines before you use the mule shoe. 8) Hugs Helda
