Brother in Texas

[preprius]

So my brother said he wanted a black walnut cowboy hat.  How can I say no? He lives 1300 miles away in Texas. 

I sent him the curve tool to wrap around his head. He emailed me the scanned tool result.  I took that scan into inkscan and started the project.  

He requested a blank top.  

This took me about 19 hrs. 

It is slightly darker than my other black walnut hat. Also a bit bigger. Everyone has a different head size. 

Here is a couple of pics showing before / after finishing step.  Armour Arm Seal was used.
