Step 6Measuring & Cutting The Leather For The Back
The leather for the back is cut 2" less in diameter ( 20" ) out of latigo the center is indexed.
Use the pattern for the arm support. This is also cut out of latigo and riveted on to the back. A Shearling liner is also cut.
A sheath for the spike is made by wetting a scrap of tooling leather, forming it around the spike and clamping till it's dry. Tooling leather is used because latigo does not wet form well. The sheath is then dyed to match the back and sewn on.
