This should show the struggles I have with Leatherwork. I am convinced after reading Robert Park's writings that I have yet to work a properly prepared piece of leather. Perhaps someday I will gain the patience to wait until the leather is ready.
My creation. Apparently, I made it too big, so I will have to scale down the next one. Also, I have developed some ideas on how to make it way more durable.
I waited way longer than I ever have to begin tooling this piece and I believe it turned out better. I still need to wait longer for the leather to be ready, but that is so difficult for me.
