Latest Project On It's Way To Afghanistan
OdinUK replied to DHauser's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I checked out the pictures, absolutely fantastic! I love the quality and clean design. Great website too. I look forward to having a look at more of your work. -
Welcome to the forum, Where about in Wales are you? Im not far from the border myself. Nice sheaths you have there.

Thanks. Before dying, I used Oxalic acid to clean the leather, it also has a very slight bleaching effect to make it lighter. The red was airbrushed on and that comes out lighter than applying the dye directly. I prefer using the dye where I can so the natural texture of the leather can be seen.

Hi Chancy, Thanks! The background for the black is the E294 series. The white background is the pebble tool that I bought from Springfield Leather. Thanks for looking. -
Thanks Aurelie! I only use paint when I cant use a dye to get a bright enough colour or certain effect. I've been learning to airbrush, so I'm hoping to make them a little more artistic, using dyes and paints in more creative ways.

Its absolutely stunning! Congratulations!

Only the white is acrylic paint. The red and black is Fiebings oil dye. All colour is airbrushed on, liquid latex used to mask the various bits off and then a fine tip regular brush to touch up around the edges. The finish is Saddle Lac sprayed on. I'd like to use a less glossy finish, maybe super or satin sheene. Can anyone reccomend anying else that can go on dyed and painted leather to seal it or protect it from rain and dirt? Thanks for your comments.

Excellent work, I love it! What is the final finish you used?

Deer Skin Fringed Bags
OdinUK replied to bluesman1951's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Nice bags, Ive not made anything like this yet, the closest I made are suede ring pouches for my friends weddings. -
Thanks for that, I like it.

Thanks Jon, The black background is done with the E294 series background tools. The white background is done with the pebble tools from Springfield leather, although I see a similar tool at Tandys (M884), I think its the same tool but not certain. Im currently learning to airbrush, so I hope I can add more shading and artistic dying and painting to my leatherwork soon. The hammer logo is from the Sign of the Hammer album cover and depicts a stylized hammer of Thor and the Valkyries wings.

Here is my latest Manowar back patch. Its a single large back patch to go onto a bike jacket. It measures 17 in tall and 14 in across the top and tapers to 10 in along the bottom.

Loving the guitar. Is the leather glued into place before the lacing?
