    Bailey's new harness *updated pics*

    Ive been working on it for a while now, its just about done. I need to adjust the top piece a bit, and then stain the leather, but other than that its pretty much finished.

    Any ideas on what color I should stain it?

    You sooooo didn't have to put these pics up!!!!!!

    Great job!

     As for stain color, I always like tan dogs in a dark brown/reddish leather, but then I'm a dull sortStick out tongue

    • Gold Top Dog

    Love it!  Actually, I think it looks nice the color it is.

     My goodness you do amazing work!  Bailey you are a very lucky boy!

    I kind of like the natural leather which will darken with use but if you want to stain it I also think the dark reddish brown would be good

    • Gold Top Dog

    Very nice.  I think a dark brown stain would look good on Bailey but with his coat color anything would look great.  You are very talented!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Amazing!

    So...........when are you going to start selling stuff???

    Thanks everyone Big Smile
    I like the natural color too, but I have to stain it. My art teacher gave me most of the leather, but its not all from the same hide, so it doesnt match exactly in color. The breast plate has a bunch fo scratches on it, Im hoping adding color to it will make them stand out less.

    This is the collar I made him a while ago. Its a dark mahogany color. Maybe I should dye the harness the same color? I also have a brown, and a tan, which I think would look nice....

    Dont show Bevo, he might get jealous Stick out tongue

    Amazing!

    So...........when are you going to start selling stuff???

    Well, I am, sort of. Not like an actual buisness or anything, just to anyone who wants a hand made personalized collar (and maybe harnesses soon) for their dog. I dont think Im allowed to talk about selling stuff here, so if anyone is interested or has any questions feel free to PM me, I dont bite (usually) Wink

     If Luke didn't have a long coat that hides his collars, I'd be sending you a pm about a collar. I'm still debating it though. I think Bailey would look nice in anything, but a reddish like everyone else suggested would be nice too.

    • Gold Top Dog

     Your pup is so handsome! <3 I think the dark mahogany compliments his coat color nicely. Also, I PMed you. :P

    • Gold Top Dog

     Wow, great job!!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Wow, just wow!  I like the natural color myself.  I don't know about leather but I do know that with wood if you stain it & it has scratches, the wood takes the stain differently.  Just my .02.

    • Gold Top Dog

    You do great work!  I love it!

    With skills like that you could make money very easily no doubt.

    Baily's looking great also.

    Yea, leather stain is kind of different. Stain goes into the cracks or cuts on the leather, and actually makes them stand out more lol. Dye doesnt, but I dont have a dye color that I like... oh well

    This is a scrap piece of leather that I dyed all the different colors.
    Opinions needed, I cant decideTongue Tied

    Left to right:

    Dark brown dye, mahogany stain, saddle tan stain, light brown stain   (plus the color of Baileys collar, dark mahogany dye, which I didnt put on here)

    • Gold Top Dog

    They are all nice but I like the saddle tan.
