Vince commented on leathercrafter's gallery image in Our Leatherwork Galleries
Amazing result, this is really incredible in details and the overall quality is just impressive. People like you give ideas and level of quality expectation to beginners like me. Vince -
Hi John, Thanks a lot for your comments, the project size is 25'' dia, lots of tooling but I like the result, I'll keep updating the post as soon as I progress the project. Next step is to glue it to the targe wood shield. Vince -
Hi Bill, Thanks for the nice comments, I am quite happy with the result for my first try. I am disapointed by the crack you can see in the leather wich appear after softening it manually. I also think that light brown would have been better color than black. I am far from your project quality but I'll keep up the work to get there someday.... Vince -

Impressive, that's a beautiful piece of art -
Hi TapTapTap, Thanks for your comments, I started that targe in a medieval festival in France, the goal is really to make a targe. The design is on 25'' diameter leather circle. I plan to glue the project, using some antique bone glue,on a piece of oak. The back side will be cover by antelope skin and the whole will be nailled by wrought iron nails. Then I'll add the wrist grips... I'll keep this gallery updated with the progress. Vince PS: Thank you all for your comments ;-) -

Hi Bobby, First of all, thank you for your answer, reading your comments, the result I get start to make more sense to me. Like you mentioned I used the antique past tan without any lac on my project and again like you mentioned I ended up with marks ans scratches highlighted too :-( by the way I guess there is nothing I can do to remove it ? In any case should I apply bag kote to it before I seal the project ? Here is the last test I have made using Lac kote applied with teeshirt and sheridan antique, you are certainly right I have put too much lac, I'll try to get wool skin to apply lac and darker antique to see if I get better result. Regarding the lac, I did not managed to get NeatLac in Europe, this product does not ship to europe easilly cause it is flammable the only lac I managed to get was Lac Kote (http://www.abbeysadd...ail.cfm?id=L026). I hope the result is only due to the amount of lac I use and does not come from the product itself. Thanks, I guess I need more practise and test. Vince

Hi, I try to antique my tooled leather and cannot managed to get the result I see on all the picture in this forums. I used lac kote from fiebings as sealer on my tooled project. I applied it with paint brush and also with a piece of an old teeshirt as I thought this will prevent the lac to get too much into the cuts. Then I applied the antique past (sheridan and tan color). In both cases I ended up with only the cuts colored and all the parts that were sealed remained uncolored. I guess that the lac seal it preatty well. I don't understand how you manage to get the antique past coloring sealed part? Do I miss something, do you guys antique or dye before applying the lac? I bought the book "sheridan style carving" cause I thought that book would provide me more details, but It explained exactly the same process you are describing. But it does not work for me. I would like to get the same result as I can see in the sheridan pictures exposed in this site. Any help would be appreciate. Ann did you managed to get the antique working ? Vicne
