Quote New life for old leather couch
I read that and thought I'd see a picture of an old couch with a painted bullseye and arrows stuck in it.    :bigsmyl:

Nice Quiver!

You've gave me a great idea for the bulk of grey upholstry leather I have here.

I may need to think of some ideas on this.
I may need to get a patern from Mudd too to make a merrymen hat too.
Thanks

Post by: Ed Q on February 22, 2011, 02:24:00 PM
That's awesome!  Good work.  Thanks for the idea.  So is this an old sofa you had or one you found on a curb-side bulk trash pickup?

Also noticed you're in Dallas.  I'm just south of you in Lancaster.  Will you be at the Cowtown shoot next weekend?

Great idea! That's why I am a "pack-rat". I believe everything can be used again... for something.

Keefer, only you would go dumpster diving to make a pearl quiver! LOL. You go, boy!
Title: Re: New life for old leather couch
Post by: White Falcon on March 19, 2011, 09:38:00 AM
It was a couch we had. I think wife paid two grand for it about 10 yrs ago, "Italian Leather",. She didn't like how it showed every bit of body oil. I liked it, kind of like an old saddle or holster weathered.
Oh well I have lots of leather!

Nice work! There's alot of skin on a couch, should be able to outfit yourself with all kind of goodys.
