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" …

My wife was going thru the closet and was going to throw out or donate a couple of old (leather) purses and / or wallets. I told her to give them to me and I would look them over before she tossed them. It has always been our practice to "Double Check" such things for IDs or information. "I checked them twice." "Nope, I want to see what I can salvage for the leather bench." "Oh, okay, fine." I took them out to the shop, and went through them, every pocket and every slot, and found... Brass Rings to reuse Some cool latches to reuse and some magnetic closures I was going to order for my next project. ($10 each.) I didn't find any ca…

These are the first five projects I've attempted. From each iteration I learned new techniques and gotchas. The time to complete went from 10 hours for my first card holder, to under 5 hours for the last attempt. The following photos are of front and back of each card holder. 1st attempt. 2nd attempt: 3rd attempt: 4th attempt: 5th attempt: I'm loving leather crafting. I appreciate any feedback. Luke.

A relative commissioned a belt from me, and wanted it lined. Would be my first lined belt, tried my best to make it look good and don't think it turned out to shabby. Veg tan 1 1/2 in, 8oz with 2oz liner. (The buckle I had ordered didn't work so I had to use a backup that doesn't quite match the keeper.)

We’ve been iced in since Saturday so decided to practice a little. Made this cover for my daily planner. 3/4 oz Hermann Oak with a pig skin liner. It’s just dyed black and Sheridan Brown antique finish over natural leather, no resist. I haven’t put a topcoat yet. Want something I’ll be able to clean and oil later. I usually Wyosheen everything and I don’t like the way water base finishes look. Oil just seems to sit on top of the Wyosheen. Any recommendations.

Wanted to try a building, The Alamo seemed like a good project. It was more difficult than anticipated, larger size would make it easier. The size was 7.5 x 10, seemed big enough when printing the piece, plus it is hard to find a lot bigger piece on a belly. With the price of bellies it gives me more freedom to try and not be afraid of the cost of failure, just have to read the leather for proper moisture content.
