  1. I wish I'd had that back when I had to wear a tie to work. Very creative and well done!
  2. I can't add to what's already been said, but that is a beautiful sheath for a sweet knife.
  3. Wow! Very nice. I'm sure it will be appreciated.
  4. Wow, nice work! The edges are wonderful as they are. Very clean and neat.
  5. Very nice! I've been researching quivers to figure out my next one (I made a small pocket quiver last year but want to make a bigger one) and like this style. I shoot a Cablea's Ranger (Sammick Sage) recurve, 45 lbs at 28".

    Mouse Pad

    My grandfather introduced me to it when I was 9, and I did it throughout the summers as a teen, but then got away from it for awhile. I did it occasionally during my 20 years in the Air Force but usually was short of time, money, or room to work. I got back into after I retired from the Air Force about 10 years ago but then got married and went back to the off/on cycle. I'm back on again now and hope to stick with it this time. But I'm also a procrastinator and easily distracted.

    Oh, and backed with suede.

    Mouse Pad

    Yep, I sometimes get excited about an idea and want to just throw together an example to see how it would work, with the intention of taking my time and doing a "good" one afterwards. I've been doing this off and on for 40 years, mostly off, and I still get excited pounding on leather. : )

    Mouse Pad

    Thanks, Gary! Used 4-5 oz shoulder I think (just something I picked up at Tandy), white waxed thread from Tandy, and finished with Eco Flow Tan Gel Antique.

    Mouse Pad

    Thanks for the input. I was trying to get the leaping off the pad image but hadn't thought about running into the "fence." Definitely something to pay attention to in the future.

    Thanks. Hand sewn. I agree about the border stamps, I was just throwing this one together as an experiment/learning opportunity. I will take my time and do it right on the next one(s).

    Mouse Pad

    Thanks, Bikermutt! The deer was part of a craftool. I just used that part. I didn't notice until I looked at the picture that I had over-beveled the neck/back. Like I said, I was rushing this one just to figure it out.

    Mouse Pad

    Thanks, Retswerb! I was just looking at your luggage tags a couple of hours ago, and planning on making some of them up. It also looks like we're in the same area.
  14. That is a great work of functional art! I love your design and workmanship. I'm reading Gordon Andruss' book on western floral design and really appreciate what goes into coming up with a design like that.
  15. I was just asked to make one, and seeing yours in encouraging and inspiring.

    Mouse Pad

    Needed a new mouse pad at work so I made one. I kind of rushed the tooling since it was the first one and I wanted to get a feel for how to build it. I'll take my time on the next one.
  17. Looks great! Another one on the Project List to get too. You've inspired me to move it up the list.
  18. Great job! On my Project List. Hope to get to them in the next few weeks.
