Ferguson Britt Inverlochy copycat W.I.P.

So I went to my local leather worker and spoke to him about my project. After seeing my drawings and the fur I have on hand he cut a thin sheet of leather that would be used for a wallet. He told me to get a adhesive called E-6000 he wants me to lightly spread this glue to the pelt and let it dry for 5 minutes to get tacky. Then I carefully laid the thin leather over the glue and pressed every inch to stick the two pieces together. Once the pelt and the leather are glued together I have to let it dry for 24 hours. I'll have a update for the next step soon. wile I do this project if any one has tips for me they would be appreciated. I am thinking out every step as much as I can but I have learned that the xmarks rabble is a wealth of knowledge.




I realized that the pelt has a natural curve in it so I cut the leather into strips that might overlap. I am going to try to have it follow the curve of the pelt.

Interesting... but I'm confused as to your rationale for cutting your backing material in strips to "follow the curve of the pelt".
