Thanks for the link to the Norseman Bows site. I am the recorder at the Erina Archery Club and one of our members recently came 3rd in the Australian Bowyers competition. He makes an excellent LongBow and has a few members giving up recurve and compound to shoot longbow. His name is Tony Mahony and he is also a leatherworker.. We have made a few wrist guards and quivers between the two of us. I have just finished a belt quiver from one of the Tandy pattern packs. (this afternoon) I will post it on my album tomorrow with photos of my own gear. By the way, the bowyer from Norseman Bows is not familiar to me and i haven't seen him at our club.I notice his catalogue is dated 2009. regards, BJ

G'Day mate, welcome to this excellent site. Only joined up myself on Thursday so I am still browsing.. There is nothing wrong with plain leather belts with just a little decoration like saddle stitching or buckstitch. The trick is to know when enough is enough. I think that when you really get into this site and visit the forums you will see the variety of leatherwork available. Regards, BJ

Thank you Casey for your welcome. The reason I found this site was because I googled 'How to Photograph leatherwork' so when I learn the tricks I will post some more of my pictures.I was a great fan of Al Stholman and his techniques and have just completed another 7 pictures. Regards BJ

Thank you Alex, I'm looking forward to being a productive member. Regards, BJ

This is my first attempt at posting on a forum. Thanks to Terrahyd for the welcome when i joined. Yep, another Aussie only this time from the NSW Central Coast (about 1 hour north of Sydney). I started in leatherwork 50 years ago and hope to share my experience with others and pick their brains for new ideas. I have just finished editing my Profile and posted a few examples of my work in the gallery. G'day to Jacko - I shoot a Bowtech compound for target archery, haven't got the strength for traditional bow. Regards, to all from Tap Tap Tap
