Nicely done!!

Looks very nice!

Celtic may have not been your thing but it looks great! Nice job!

Cool! She'll love it!

Those are beautiful!

Looks like you have all the mechanics down and you even hand stitched it all. Nice for a first!

Wow, you don't know stubborn! I got my Ernie though a rescue. Never had a dog like him in my life. It's just like having a kid again!

Sounds like you have a neat idea trying to salvage them. I can't help you but I'm sure someone will jump on here.

Welcome, You have a nice shop area. Love your work seat too!

How handy! Nice!

I think it looks very nice!

Lovely!!

Cool stuff! I love the book!

Nice work, Volpert! Love your comments, Horrrk! Too funny!

Cool! Welcome back!

I'm sure you are dreaming mahogany...but that sure is pretty! Rich looking.

I think they'd be a hit! You know it gets wild and crazy at Stugis!

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL! I love the pleated area behind the zipper. Looks like it's easier to access. I also love the design.

Nice work, Tree Reaper. Those are called 'Money Plant'. When the plant dries for fall it looks like it has coins on it.

Yes, you did post them. And they look AWESOME!

Very nice...I love the bag!

I stumbled upon this site about 21 months ago. I have learned a lot from Leatherworker. But for the newcomers I have noticed it's important to get the right information...right from the start....from the right people...with the right knowledge. I know not everyone has a talent for leather. So when questions arise from someone that could be good at leather work, you hope they get the right information. I've noticed in a few posts (and just a few) that answers being posted are mere guesses or suggestions without proof. --That just sends people in the wrong direction -- My suggestion for the future newcomer is to check out the info given. To prove that the info is right I usually go to profiles, members websites and look at all product that has been made and to see if they know what they're talking about. This for me is how I've advanced in leather work. There are some GREAT leather workers here...the newcomers need to seek them out!

Awesome seat!

I know for me...I always case my leather. I never just wet it with a sponge. With this method I'm sure of having a good outcome for stamping. Make sure it's back to the natural color. It may seem like it's too dry but in reality the center is just right to take the impressions. If it still feels cool to your face it's ready to go!! Good luck on your next project.

Nice work Luke!
