  1. Great Looking Shop! I've never heard of Tombstones as Tooling Slabs, Great Way to think outside the lines, provided the Dead haven't come for you.

    And As it Was Said earlier, It's no Real Shop until it's Cluttered with tools scattered everywhere, Update us with pics when it's 'Broken in' :D xD

  2. Working with So much Brandy and Whisky Must really make one love the craft, Hehe, Absolutely beautiful Work, I Really like the color of the First Whip.

    asking as someone whose without a clue in the Section of braiding/whips, What is the Bosal (i Think that's the name for it, the Artwork in the second photo) Used for?

  3. Glad i'm not alone in this, i forgot to specify, sorry, i'm only making it cover up to the Grip of the stock, no further. (i couldn't find a name for it, the thin part of the stock that fits to the receiver.). Thanks for the idea, i have two Giant tubs full of Tarnished and scrapped leather! Figured the butt cover would be a much better alternative to trying to mount screws to the stock( tried once, they slipped out, need something that covers the hole D: ), plus with a rifle sling adapted to it, i won't have to carry the rifle in hand like i have for the last two years xD.

    Thanks!

    Also, i have to say, the panther looks absolutely Vicious, Mammoth hunting must be back in season to be carrying something like that!


  4. Hey Everyone, i've been trying to make a pattern for a butt cover for my Marlin 30-30 lever action, Model 336, with a standard thin recoil pad. I've never done anything like this, and can't get the pattern right, it has came up too short( the curves of the stock threw me off) or too uneven. Instead of having to scrap another piece of hide, i wanted to see if anyone had done a Cover for this Rifle, and if they had a pattern to share, or tips for the Amateur here xD. Thanks.


  5. Don't quote the novice on this, but as i read in Tandy's 'Lucky Eight Belt Book', Floral carving is a several-centuries old Style, Originating in Spain i Think. In my sight and many of my customers, it's beautiful. i'm Asking still how someone brought up the idea to cut flowers into a strip of Cowhide, it's absolutely strange but i like it, So incredibly fun to tool, As well.
