Beautiful!

Thanks

Thanks

Made this pommel holster for cowboy mounted shooting. What do you think?

Ya. I think I fixed it. Just getting the hang of this now.

Just finished this guitar strap what do you think?

That is awsome. Just what I was looking for. How long are the two side pieces that go up from the ring to the buckles?

Thanks, I will try that.

Thanks, Did you check out my Facebook page. How am I doing so far?

Ok so that did not work. Had to use Facebook to log in again and I still do not know what my password is. ???

Hello, I hope this is the place to get help? I have not been on the forum in a long time. And when I went to log on I could not remember my passward. I used Facebook to get logged in. So I wanted to go and reset my password but it seems I can not do that unless I know my old passward. I am afraid if I log out I will not be able to get back on. Nothing I do seems to be working. Can you help me. I also have a new e-mail address. I seems I was able to change that. I am going to try to log off and do what the e-mail told me to do. But if it dosn't work. You could e-mail me. Thanks Patty

Hello, I am Patty from Wisconsin. I have been lerking on here for some time. I may have already done an introduction but I can't remember. It has been that long. So I have been doing this leather work thing for a few years now and have been selling most of my work. But it seems much like working with horses, the more I do it the more I have found that I don't know. And I have been working with horses my whole life. I am 50+ so if I really want to learn this and be good at it I better get busi. That is why I am here. I am hoping you all can help me along. As I have said, I have been selling a lot of my work and people seam to be very happy with it. But I am getting people asking me to do bigger and more envolved projects. I really want to do a good job of it. I seem to have the tooling part down pretty well. But I am really unsure about the dying and finishing. Maybe you can give me some help in that area. So here is a link to my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sandy-Ridge-Leather/173395786012610 That is where I have been posting most of my work and where most people contact me to purchase items. Feel free to check it out and leave comments. Thanks Patty

I am reading other posts and may be answering my own question but it looks like the die did not soak in very far. I should do a better job of cleaning before dying maybe? I want the item I am making to be soft and flexable. They are straps for a breast collar. What do you sugjest for dying finishing and conditioning for something like this.

I don't know if this is where I am saposed to post this or not. But here goes. on some of my projects after I have finish them If I bend the leather the finish and the leather cracks. What is up with that. What am I doing wrong?

I would love to see it.
