  1. Thank you very much, I’ll check in with them I haven’t heard of Maverick before, so I’ll definitely check them out. I spoke with the Eugene store and they gave me one name of a guy who said he was too unhealthy, so I came up short
  2. Hello everyone, I recently moved from Montana to Oregon. Specifically, I moved near Albany, in Linn County. When I lived in Montana, I was being taught how to make a saddle by a great guy. Unfortunately, I had to move short notice and wasn't able to get very far. I would like to find someone local to me that would be willing to teach me. I have the Stohlman books and I could probably find some videos, but I would much rather have someone with experience that I could ask questions to and get to know. I also don't have every tool that a person needs. I'm happy to pay and/or help out with any chores that need done. If anyone knows someone like this I would love to be connected with them! Thanks in advance
  3. Thank you for the info, I've never messed with the stuff but I've thought about it before.
  4. I've seen your work on here before and I've always been a big fan. I'll check out that Facebook page now! Again, I think the patches look great!
  5. As an Airman, thank you for making something this old timer can be proud to show off! I love it.
  6. Thank you everyone for the kind words! I truly appreciate it!
  7. I made this as a Christmas gift for my buddy's wife. he gave it to her early and she loved it so I'm happy there. The leather was about 9/10oz Herman Oak, I lined it with pig skin, colors used was fiebings mahogany, saddle tan and fiebings mahogany antique. I was pretty happy with this one but if you see something I could do to improve by all means let me hear it. I'm always looking to improve! Thanks and have a great day!
  8. I absolutely love this wallet
  9. Looks like you did an excellent job! I look forward to seeing more
  10. That's incredible work! I really need to figure out how to draw designs like that. If you don't mind my asking, how do you keep the leather is original color? Before I antique, I apply neatsfoot oil and clear - lac and that darkens everything up considerably. It still looks good, but I'd like the option of natural color as well. Merry Christmas!
  11. Thanks guys! She loved it and since then has picked up an interest in tooling herself. I got the pattern from Al Stohlman's book "Belts Galore".
  12. I made this for my girlfriend as a birthday present. What do you think?
  13. From what I saw out if my work my areas of improvement that I noticed I need to work on is more detailed leafs and more fluid tooling all around
  14. Oh got it, I think they're maple but it's really ok with me either way. I just liked the pattern and figured my friend would too
  15. What other belt? The two pictures up there are of the same belt if that's what you mean
