  1. Really like the squared corner look. In an ocean of round corner look-alikes, that stands out. You just might have started a new trend. Name it the "uberyk corner" style. Congratulations!
  2. I especially like the "strap" on the mid-holster. Previously, have always seen this as a buckled "belt". The strap, sans buckle, adds a simplicity that draws your attention to the fine oak leaf carving, and absolutely gorgeous dark brown color. Congratulations! Leather crafting at its finest.
  3. I'm neither an expert, nor do I have experience in doing this. That said, would it be possible to glue the rabbit fur to a very thin leather, then roll the edges of that "composite", and sew that to the inside of the martingale dog collar?
  4. My name is Barry, but often use my SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) nickname Zekest Crowe; a nickname given to pre-teen me by friends more than 30 years ago. I live and work in the western suburbs of Portland, Oregon, a high-technology area known as The Silicone Forrest. Besides leather working, my hobbies include photography, league bowling, precision "bulls eye" shooting, Cowboy Action Shooting, and being a member and past board member of Oregon's largest (Ford) Mustang car club currently with 150+ members. My foray into leather craft began with making myself a simple belt. Not happy with the belt offerings at the mall and local western wear store, the decision to create my own was made. My first project was a belt made from a belt blank and buckle from Tandy, holes punched with a tool from Harbor Freight, and stained with shoe polish. Proud of my first accomplishment, but wanting to create something better, well much, much better, I began to read anything and everything, watch YouTube videos, and scour the internet for knowledge. That led me here to Leatherworker.net Interested in general leather working knowledge, belts, wallets, and bags, and leather western wear accessories from the 1890's cowboy/cowgirl era.
