    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" …

    Desert bighorn holster is finished 1 2

    by DoubleKCustomLeathercraft

    This is a follow up to my previous post explaining how I drew the pattern for this carving. And a few other things. I did add a toe plug on this to help retain its shape for years. My client specifically said, "I would like you to have artistic freedom on this, and I would like to be surprised" direct quote. I chose the bighorn because of their resilience and strength. They live a rugged lifestyle that represents the wild west. I chose the desert bighorn because it's headed to CA and they're one of two native species too the state.

    It's raining today so no cutting shooting lanes. Started a new tooliing combining Al Stohlman's Cowboy, and Jim Linnell's corners. This will be a Chriistmas gift for a cousin who rode bulls and broke horses plus loves his revolvers. This is right up his alley, he's turning 76 so his rodeoing is long gone, but he loves his ginni, and mare.

    These are practice pieces for a class on learning model spoon use. These were fun and pleased how much can be done with a spoon. Fun to be doing some figure carving again it has been over a year. Been doing stamping and a little basic tooling.

    First time tooling a pattern.

    by LeftLane Leather

    I have been into leather crafting for a few years now but only recently got into belts. Started out mainly making knife sheaths and holsters. I have cranked out a couple of belts with standard basket weave patterns. This is my first attempt at tooling in a pattern. I got this pattern from Joe Meling from twentythreeplus.com. I am extremely happy with the outcome. I need to work on my decorative cuts but all in all I thing it turned out exactly how I saw it in my mind. Made it for a buddy of mine I grew up with whose dad use to do leather work making belts and the like. Just thought I would share.

    First pair of sandals underway 1 2 3 4 8

    by deboardp

    I don't remember if I mentioned here at leatherworker.net that the VA approved my claim for disability compensation for acquiring disabling diseases due to herbicide exposure, but they did, about December 13th. I won't be homeless again, which at 77 is a matter of survival. I also don't have to make sandals now, but I want to, having spent the last 16 months setting up my shop, and today I am at this stage where the topsoles and straps for my very first pair since the 70's are cut and beveled. After I click send I'm going to burnish the strap edges with trag and start on the strap slots. I'm not using a punch for that, but will use my round knife and tiny circle punches a…
