Great , I have to make some shoulder and upper arm peaces for my son , but still have no idea how to start with it . Your creation gives me a lot of inspiration.

Found a lot at the tandy site.

Love your photobook , once made a wedding scrapbook of wood , (before I worked with leather) , but this is a better option.

The pink one is really a bling bling collar , really something for a chee wah wah. I really need to buy some nice ez flow colors .

Looks good ,

which places you've been in the Netherlands?

Nice case.

Did you already show it , i'm very curious.

I found a pattern of that in the book , The art of making Leather Cases , volume two, by : All Stohlman.

My first dog collar. Don't have stamps , so carved it all, its just a try out and my dog is very proud with it.

Hello M Lee, I'm a newbie too and happy to find this site.

Thanks , for the welcome . Off course I will place pictures . You all inspired me to carve a little bit more. At this moment busy with repairing my tack , wich my horse broke last week.

I guess this is a yournal for Metal fan's . Looks great.

I already learned that the leather must be wet enough and to keep patience to wait that the top grain is dry enough, before start to cut. What kind of blade you all use in your swiffel knife? Had the same problem at my first piece of carving. Still damping with a sponge , but if the leather get's to dry , damping it again.

Great Job, wish I dear to start such a big project.

Hello to you all from the Netherlands. Love to find this forum , I started leather carving about 2 years ago , with a starters set, a book and a dvd from All Stohlman , and an old piece of vegetan leather. Made a bag , some billfolds , gave my westernsadle a make over. Looking all over the web , to find more leatherworkers, here in the Netherlands it's hard to find someone who wants to share their experience. For most of the carving stuff we 're driving to Belgium ,ore try to find it online. My other hobby's are westernriding , making pics and a lot more.
