Last weekend I attended an auction and purchased an antique sawn oak bench put together with pegs (no nails). I hated the green velour/velvet top and pulled out all the upholstery hob nails and took a piece of hair on black and white calf hide and cut it to fit and reupholstered it and it LOOKS AMAZING!!!!
I'm thinking about using a "SALOON" font and across the wooden cross stabilizer piece hand paint 'Texas Cattlemens Assoc. for a bit of provincial flair.
I bought the bench for $60, hair on hide for $45, red & gold lettering paint $15 total $120.00 I believe I can flip it for $300. But it looks so damn good... I may keep it myself.
Dig this... I bought a broken human skull (in fragments) and plan to make knife handle blanks, grips for handguns and maybe inlay some boxes with human skull parts... in the shape of a HUMAN SKULL!. Maybe inlay some ebony canes... If that don't work out I may bury them in my neighbor's backyard and call the cops!
