shotgunwilllie Report post Posted May 25, 2008 About two months ago kimberangel and I decided on a build off. You see she and I both wanted tool cases so as a challenge I went scrounging in my stuff and came across a block of walnut and one of babinga so I cut and shaped drilled the holes and we were off and running! We both used a theme and the pattern is from Mr. Stolmans's case book both are similar but diffirent what do you think?More pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClayB Report post Posted May 25, 2008 I think you both did a great job. And what a fun idea to both work on a project together like that! I think that's just a really neat idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimberangel Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks Clay , but William is way to generous ingiving me so much credit. All i did on my case was the tooling , dye and paint. The cutting and stitching is all His work. He is a very generous leather mate. i will admit it was so much fun working on this project with Him. He is very creative and gung ho in His commitment to a project. Thanks William, i love the case! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Very nice cases! I really like them both but thought I'd mention something bout the colouring on the flying "goose". The green colouring on the tree thingies (watcha' call 'em?) is done in a way that reminds me strongly of the out of focus and motion blur that branches and stuff get's when a photo is taken with big tele lenses and panning inflight birds so I really like the way it provides some dynamics into this motif. Maybe it's just me but I think often paintings are a bit static when it comes to wildlife. Couldn't choose either one of them, they are just so nice and I really like black swans too. Great jobs and excellent idea with a build off! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbird Report post Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I really like them both nice job. The one thing I think for my to bits is that the colors are maybe a little drab they are wonderfull but they kind of meld in and don't do them justices.
