Meanea scabbard

Do pards know if this design was fully carved on both sides or just curved around the top?

I don't know for sure, but I would suspect both sides.

If the customer wanted only one side carved, Meanea would do it that way. However, his standard practice was to carve both sides.

Skeeter, I have seen a couple of Meanea Scabbards in person. They were not fully carved but the border work wrapped all the way around both sides. Also attached is a picture of a similar scabbard if you look at the top of the scabbard you can see that the floral design wraps over the top of the scabbard.

Well, Skeet. It sounds like you can do it either way, depending on your preference. Be sure to post pics.

Thanks for the advice, pards.
Will do, Marshal.

I've cut the leather, transferred the pattern and done the big cuts on the first side. I'm putting the background in first then I'll work on the foreground.

Looks awesome Skeeter.

Marshal Will Wingam · March 13, 2015, 07:36:30 PM

Now you're talkin'. Looks good. Looking forward to the finished pics.

Coming along...
(It's tough turning a tight corner with a meander stamp.)

That is beautiful! I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Skeeter it looks like you did a fine job of it. The rest of the tooling is coming along nicely as well. Looking forward to the finished product.

Marshal Will Wingam · May 04, 2015, 09:21:44 AM

Great job on that meander. I've done a couple of them and getting them that even takes some care. I also like the way you worked your maker's stamp into the design. Very cool.

You sure did a great job with that border stamp. It all looks great!

I'll wait for the weather to improve then give it a sun tan.

Marshal Will Wingam · May 05, 2015, 11:52:59 AM

That's going to look great. Can't wait to see it.

Camano Ridge · May 05, 2015, 01:34:44 PM

Skeeter that is beautiful.
