Thank you Regis.. strange tidbit of information.... a short time after receiving this hide to start working on there was an item in the newspaper about africans contacting strange diseases while working on animal hides there... The Doctor assured me that these hides were tanned in the approiate way!

**************************************** Thank you Timbo... Hats? a friend of mine is (Buckaroohatters.com) ever now and then i will get hat bodys from him and fix them up for buckskinners or civil war reenactors

Maeshin, get yourself a good cutting surface, check out the Offla cutting mat sold at the fabric shops. while you are there take a look at the offla cutters. Get a good straight edge. Thin or light weght leather is not easy to cut with a Pull thru cutter. you will like the roller cutter.

My favorite is Masters..but I have been using the Tanners Bond Contact, cement from Tandys and i like it. Fast set..

COOL.........put a name on it and use as a wall hanging... it is always good to have a sample of your work,that folks can see.

Timbo. I like your Moulding.....like your design (shape of the cases) Tooling and Carving looks great & The Stiching -
Quivers that were made from an Elan Hide that was killed in Africa by a DOCTOR that hunts only with a Bow & Arrow. the hide was tanned there..... and not with URINE, I will find other photos and post later. (ed see anything unsual on the wall :-)

AS ALWAYS YOUR TOOLING IS ASWUM.....question. did you use a beveler on that or was the background tool used as a beveler ?
-
Thank you.. it amazes me some times what i have accumlated over these good 30+ years........and still finding items i think i need. that mallet started out at a 2-3/4 x 4" it has been trimed down 2 times. Ed if i were you i would forgo the rawhide mallet, and find one of the older rawhide mauls. they are heavy and mine works better than the mallet.

and ..... you will be able to see your see your stiches. i thought the same thing.
-
Thanks Mike.... the stiching that is over the instep enables the mock to fit the shape of your foot. after a period of wear they will fit like any other Mock.
