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" …

I wanna thank @Dwight for recently sharing some of the knife sheaths he built. He inspired this design for some fixed blade knife sheath I made for a local knife maker. Welt on all edges. I also engraved the sheaths, as well as one of the blades and handles. I used my laser to create the template out of 1/8" acrylic. If you are interested in a template let me know.

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.

For my sister's birthday I put together a notepad portfolio. She's a counselor for the VA and also involved in horse therapy so I figured inlaying a horse profile would be fitting. I used 3oz vegtan with 1.8mm binder's boards as a core, the pockets are 3oz English bridle, the inset is also 3oz vegtan and also has a binder's board core. If anyone knows of Veteran or 1st Responder that can use counseling they can reach out to her https://www.adonairanchcounseling.org/

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.

The first few pictures are all the same style but in many different variations. This has become a great seller. The last picture in this style is still in progress. I am waiting on some hardware. The crossbody was a very tedious build. I love the strong color contrast.

Some stuff I've been working on for Christmas gifts. Ipad cover, checkbook cover, and some Don Gonzales shavekits. I've use the same shavekit pattern 3 times to measure my tooling progress. The red one was first, GB second and the KC was my most recent. Trying different things each time to see what works best. My knife work and flow of the cut have improved quite a bit since that first one.

So its been a long time since I have been on here (2018) I recently was sidelined with surgery and had more time on my hands. They wanted me using my hands, so I did leather work for some occupational Therapy. Feed back is welcome. I tend to make them for gifts. I never seem to feel like my work is professional enough to sell, but I have been asked lately by some professional crafters/artisans in the area to join them at a show. I am better a making than pictures
