Very creative, the coloring, the style of carving and your stitching are very artistic. Love it!

Very nice scoop. I always look for leather stuff at thrift stores..

Thanks everyone, hopefully the next one will be better. I have a lot of ideas for more.

Both for edge slicking and making crease marks on the edge. Works well once you get the hang of it.

Just finished this up for myself. Wanted to see how well the pattern worked. The spine is inlaid with ostrich leg leather and laced with 1/8 natural calf skin lace around the main part. I wanted a chunky look so I went with the 1/8 lace. The inlay was stitched with some fine lightly waxed thread from japan. It worked well for the first time using it. Same thread on the pockets. I used a air blade on the pockets just to add some light texture. I lined it with orange pig suede. Colors used: Eco flo yellow and bison brown on pockets and medium brown gel antique on the front. I used carnauba cream on the pockets and satin sheen on the main part. I also applied Fiebings Aussie on the lace, it gave it a nice glide thru the slits. I don't post picture often but thought I would share this one.

I like when my leather has scars and such, like Halitech stated gives it character. Just use your imagination and you will be surprise what you come up with.

Very nice, what a great idea.

Nice and clean. Great stitch work.

That looks like block dying. You warp a rag around a sponge or wooden block, add your dye and then dab off the excess and lightly apply. Tandy has a video on you tube you can watch for free. Just search tandy block dying

Very nice, are you going to paint or dye or antique it.

Thanks for the info, I really like the colors. Awesome workmanship

That is just too cool looking. Do you turn them on a pen lathe?

Wow, what are the handles made from? Is that a replaceable blade? Look pretty cool.

Beautiful design. Love the whole construction of it especially the coin pocket. Perfect size too.. the coloring is well done too. Nicely done!!

Both are very very nice. Beautiful job on the sheath. The coloring is very nice too

NOw those are 3 good looking pieces. Beautiful job of restoring

Thank you for answering. What a great way to reuse stuff.

Looks great, I would be proud of it too if my grandpa made me one. She will treasure it always. The paint job really does not look that bad. It toned it down a bit but still looks very nice.

Very cool! The idea of the moon and sun together are great! Would of never thought about the white glue to make it stiffer and hard. Great idea. Did you just use Elmer's glue?
