freak

Any pictures ? Either one of ya. I"ve been thinking of something very similar and that might be the look i'm trying to get . Thanks !!

lion smion, can you post a bigger pic of that floral Clay. That's freakin tight and clean man. Rapid City here i come !!

Nice ! I like the diff backgrounds and the triple layer border. Did you use paint or dye on the letters and flames ?

I wear those ever freakin where i went. WallyWorld, church, courthouse, you name it. Do those come with a matching wrestling mask ?? they should and i'de wear that too. Nicely done, I freakin LOVE"EM !!!!

How's the bike ??

Yeah i'm pretty sure it is. They live in the same city. I think i'm gonna take my daughter over there and see if he can teacher her to listen in about 5 minutes.

I'm saving for a tent...

I post the first thing i ever tooled in the other thread. I think this was the second barstool i did, which was the 3rd thing i ever did. I think , or close to it and i still use it. It's where i set when i do my leather work.

Once again, very freakin nice man. You've been doing excellent work and out standing designs . Now i think you're really starting to polish your skills and touch. Oh yeah and what type of machine do you use .LOL !!!

I think there's alot of peeps here that are better then they think. Here's my excuses up front; i use a really nasty piece of scrap, the leather had alot of hard places in it and i did it way to fast. But for real though i need to do this one about 2 more times to find the effect i'm looking for . And i'm just gonna throw this idea out there. I know many of beginners and ever others will like this. I'm not sure if i read that there will be a drawing for prizes again or not. But,,,would anyone be willing (Clay) to put there entry up as a prize ?? Say draw 3 names and find 3 people willing to donate there piece ? Or maybe all are up for trade like a white elephant gift trade. I was thinking of this cause seeing pictures is one thing BUT having it in your hand is a whole other level. Anyone, anyone, anyone ??? Sorry Tina for totally defacesing your beautiful lioness . I give you THE CURSED .

my first piece

That's nice man. I love seeing when someone takes a tat and puts it on leather for that person. I bet she just freakin loves it.

YES SIR !!!! That's one hella a nice wallet brotha !!! It's gorgeous meh . I may have missed it what type of machine do you use. LOL !!!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Japanese style art form. I can't tell you how many tattoos i've seen where it's not done right. They think just because there's a Koi or dragon or what have you and some waves all in there. That it's a great Japanese style art tattoo. You've nailed the style Dave !!! I may have missed it , is this your design or was it brought to you ? Either way i really like it. It's put some creative desire back into me. I've got a LARGE piece i've been drawing that's been sitting in the halfway stage. I think i'm ready to get back to it. Thank you !! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one colored. Any idea what the rest of the bike looks like ?

Did Washroad just call me beautiful ??? Kate i love seeing your work. LOVE IT !! No matter what the color is it will never take away from your great tooling and design. In saying that i must also say how fantastic your dye jobs are as well. You're the triple threat !! It looks freakin beautiful !!

Got any pics of the inside ?? I really like the way you did the hair and how you colored it. Paint or dye ? Nice job !

A flask has been added to go with this notebook, so i thought i'de add a pic. These will be delivered Monday.

Thank you all very much !! indypbear, I've been toying with the idea of moving the pen holder. No real reason for where it is now. At first i was planing on puting a holder on each side. One on top of the other so when the pen is in, it acts as a lock. I've seen it done of others. But,, i've been thinking of moving it to the middle or maybe across the top , above the pad of paper. About the initials , if you look back a few post i posted a link to the font i used. Grumpy, on the woodgrain i just cut lines with the swivel knife , then i go back over them with a molding spoon. I'm still playing with the effect. We need to get Kevin the King to show us how it's really done. KK does some of the nicest and realistic wood grain in leather i've seen. He's threatin to do a tutorial on woodgrain before. I'm ready for it , aren't you ??? Just to pass the time i've added a flask for this one and blondie. I'll be delivering them on Monday.

That looks great man. It sure doesn't look like a first. Looks like you know what your doing. I want to make a mask. I'm gonna have to do some studying .

Dang and i almost gave you a call today to. but, i stayed at the house. Freakin 60mph winds ! The roads were crazy today.

LOL !!!! and ya'll came me freak. LOL !! Thank you all very much, i mean it, thank you. (love those commercials) . I have a guy down the road (out there by you Mike) that's making me a pen out of deer antler . I should be picking it up this weekend. Then this one and "Blondie" will be delivered.

It look great with the simple black lining, very professional look. But,,,,,seeing and knowing your work i would of liked to see it with the blue stuff you've used before. I think i've said this before, if so,,,,hear it again. I really like the designs you come up with for you stitcking and inlays. CARRY ON !!!

I sooooooooo freakin wanted to make that class. That's life .. I'm glad you posted , i was wondering how it went.

Very nice. I love seeing your work. Thank you for sharing.
