Okay folks...
I have a Fajen plastic stock that I made a custom cheek rest for and am now covering it in leather wrap...
Going to dye the leather black...
Plan on doing some artwork and leaning hard on a Ruger emblem embossed and painted white on the black background...
However...just starting to tinker with the art work and tooling for the emblem...
This is just a 'rough sketch' I did quickly to get an idea of what size and details of artwork I want to do etc...
I have been around the block with leather a few times and done my share of tooling...by no means a craftsmen skill level nor am I an artist...
So...for those if you with leather carving and artist skills who want to show your work for reference of throw out some ideas for artwork or whatever while I am in the process of doing this project that would be great...
I also considering a custom emblem that sorta of looks like the Ruger emblem but is both unique and simpler...simpler is better and easier to get the details to look good...
Work in progress...so don't critique the emblem shown in this pic is is just the leather equivalent of doodling on a piece of scrap...If I go with this design the finished emblem would be much mo betta...
