Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a few weeks and figured maybe I should introduce myself and show some of my work. My name is Cam and I took up leatherworking as a hobby almost 2 years ago. I got into traditional archery, making longbows, and decided that making archery accessories was the next logical step. I started learning to tool and carve leather on some arm guards, and have since made quivers, knife sheaths, pouches, etc. Seems I do more leatherworking now than archery related stuff. Anyway, here are some pictures.

Thanks Cheryl and Kevin.

I formed the damp leather around a wood block that I made on a table router. It took quite a bit of poking and proding with my fingers to get the leather wrapped around the corners nicely. Then I cut out a cavity into a piece of foam I had laying around and set it on top to hold the shape till it dried a bit. This was my first attempt at formed leather, and I was quite happy with how it turned out. Here are a few more pics if you're interested.

P.S. - Kevin, can you tell me how to get rid of the USA flag by my name? I can't find anywhere in my profile settings to change my country. Thanks!

I'll have to router out a piece of cedar, make a matching insert for it minus the thickness of leather, put the leather in the cut out portion, place the matching block on top then clamp the two together.

I think it might work.
