This is a great place to post pics your latest work. Please understand that as the threads get older, we're going to move the topics to the area they "fit", for example, bikes or holsters, just to keep this section manageable, and help the newer folks find lots of pics of the subjects they are interested in. If I have moved your post to the wrong area, please TELL me so I can fix it. Please don't be upset when I move an older post- it actually helps more people to find it. It also helps when we use descriptive titles. "Recent Projects" isn't as likely to get clicks as "Harley Saddlebags and Seat" or "Civil War Holster and Belt". To post your pics, use the "browse" …

Really trying to get better at making holsters, this is my fourth and I think I'm starting to finally be happy with the results. The coloring is intentional with the slight fade, airbrushing the dye on has made it much easier to achieve. I do leave the liner natural other than a resolene coating.

Hey guys, I spent New Year’s Eve on a last practice before my internship at a saddlers workshop. Since I only own dogs and got a new toy (what my friends jokingly call my little leather splitter), I decided to make a flat and a rolled collar. Both were made to measure for my mum’s dog. I’m still waiting on my new creaser, which might arrive tomorrow, so all decorative lines are missing for now. # Italian leather with steel hardware. The blue hide is dead stock and no longer available. I originally bought it for my dog’s new harness, but I had already planned to use some for dog collars. When my mum and I discussed the collar, she mentioned a whol…

Decided to update/upgrade my own wallet. My own design, version 2.0 Hand tooled, hand stitched as always. Was trying to make it look like an old tractor with the dye/paint. Didn't come out like I had it pictured in my brainus, but I'm happy with it. Questions and comments are always welcome.

Well, long story. I purchased a plains boot patern from tandy thinking I could alter the design to fit my liking. Basicly a pair of booties to wear inside my tent when camping in deep snow. I altered the pattern so they would be triple warm for my aging feet. I wear a size 10 logger but knowing I would be using bark tanned wool inside for insulation I decided size 12 would work. It didnt. They were very tight... So... I gave them to my gdaughter. SHE LOVES THEM!!! I guess Ill have to try again but go larger yet to fit my feet? anyhow, this is the pattern and these are the booties I made. Bark tanned inside the lower portion and long hair wool on top . I bet her fe…

This was one of those "hurry up on Christmas morning" projects. New wallet for my mother-in-law. I was terrified of tooling the hummingbird, so I kept putting it off, until I couldn't any longer. I need to learn how to add card slots without making the wallet so darn thick. I see wallets with 6 card slots that look great. I haven't figured that out yet. 4/5 veg tan outer with real gator accent, pig suede lining, "peanut" bison dividers, 2/3 veg tan pockets. Bismark brown dye, black acrylic antiquing.
