This is kind of off topic but I'm bored tonight and thought I'd stick this up here. I posted them in shoptalk since the guys gave me some advice on finishing them.
These are made of mild steel. I did the engraving myself then back filled it with silver solder before rust browning them to give it some contrast. I didn't make the leather straps or the rowels, the straps are something I will eventually learn. The rowels would just be too much of a PITA.
Eventually I want to be able to make spurs like I make knives, for now though its very challenging cause I'm not too good at forging, and not too good at welding. The second pair is coming along though, I learned alot from the first.
Anyway, sorry its not knives, thanks for looking.
