gday caroline. thanks heaps for the offer, very generous. i had a look at your work at i have to say it looks magic great embossing (carving?). for the very start with such a simplistic design im going to tackle it myself. and as i get more advanced and when issues crop up and ill have questions to ask rather then getting advice and not really understanding the answers im getting. better off learning the basics from the many tutorials on sheath making on the net and asking question when i strike trouble.
having said that down the track if im enjoying leather-work i will no doubt-ably try and tackle much harder projects (getting my shooters license and a 12 gauge so would love to have a handmade leather scabbard) and if your are willing id definitely be keen to ask for some advice.
