Real Deal Spolas

[Feinman]

Okay, so the first pic shows the scales and backing sewn to the inner layer of the front section.  I have taken off the lowest row of scales, and I will sew them on when I attach the ptyreges. I still haven't trimmed the backing down yet.  The inner layer is shorter at the bottom, because that's where the leather from the double lauer of ptyreges will be, lashed to bottom of inner layer, to provide uniform thickness throughout.  The second pic shows the front outer layer set in place where it will be sewn to the inner layer through the edging holes to form the continuous line of stitching.  I haven't finished punching  holes in the inner front layer anf outer layer yet, so things arent sewn together completely at that edge yet.
