Iv found another new love in leather-work! Pyrography

[cowboy]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine recently asked me to make him a leather cuff and his specifications where that the cuff wasn't too big and wasnt too small, not too dark and not too light. with a skull on it that doesn't look too real but at the same time doesn't look cartoony... NICE AND EASY RIGHT!


Anyways... the good news is i got to use my new Pyrograph a bit And from now on, im going to be using it a lot more! (i love this thing!)


Its not finished yet! All iv got left to do is the straps now.. Ill try and get a shot of it finished before i give it him.

After shading and depth

Fingers crossed he will like it!

I do like a bit of pyrography. Lindsey did a squirrel for me once that I still treasure

superb work mate! looks very clean and neat. i'v always been utter rubbish at pyrography dont have a steady hand for it

 

[cowboy]

Thanks mate!!! i must admit it was a little tricky. its hard to get the control when you have to hold it quite high up!(i used my other hand to steady my wrist in parts.. Id be pants at using a swivel knife like you do mate, it would look like a butchers chopping board by the time i was done..

Slightly bigger than A4 I'd say without taking a ruler to it

Nice work Matt, I'm sure your mate will love it. That's the sort of thing I'd wear, feel free to send it my way if he doesn't fancy it!
