Shaping a rose from vegetable tanned leather

The pattern is available in our Etsy store here:https://bransonsgeneralstore.etsy.com...

I have seen other versions of roses sculpted from leather. This is the one I like to make. The pattern is actually based on a pattern for blacksmiths to make roses out of sheet metal. We do sell a few of these on Etsy and years ago I sold quite a number of them at a renaissance faire.

I am always working on building something and try to average a YouTube video once a week. Most often leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap.
