Am making gun case for son and don't want to line with sheep skin. Can't seem to find a padded fabric to line with or am not searching for right item. Any suggestions? Thank Dawn

New To Leather Craft And New To Site... First Pieces
DawnS replied to M J Moser's topic in Figure Carving
Loved the koi. Wonderful for just starting. You can check out granite stores for free slabs of granite. I was searching for something else entirely and lucked up on a couple of nice size pieces of granite in a give-away pile. Also, as you are adding to your tools, be sure to keep an eye on ebay. People get rid of bulk stamps and other tools quite often. -
Bearman, Love your work. Just noticed that you are from Panama. I am two counties over near Apalachicola. Do you do this at a shop or just a hobby? Dawn

Thanks Troy. I am sure that Kydex is what I was looking for. I have heard of it before but could not remember the name.

Great job! I love the first picture that has the matching saddlebags. What did you use so that the bags will hold their forms?

I am in the process of making a new seat for my motorcycle (first time making a seat). I want to make saddlebags to match. What would be the best product to use to be sure that the bags hold their shape? Would I need to sew the stiffner into the bags same as I would a lining? Thanks, Dawn

Okay Ed. I want to be adopted. You can't show favoritism and I want one just like this one. I have only been tooling for a year and you are now my hero!

Bearman, I am new at tooling the leather and am trying to figure out what method you use when you outlined the carving on your eyeglasses cases. Is your leather wet? When I use the dyes, I get a very definite color change. Your's seems to have a soft transition from one color to the other. Thanks, Dawn
