I've stitched thicker leather like this by drilling the holes with a small drill bit (around 1/16 maybe?). The key is to keep the drill square to the surface so that the holes aren't all cock-eyed when they exit the backside. A drill press would actually be ideal for this.

Johanna - you're probably getting sick of this by now, but I could use a Canada flag rather than the USA. I'd change it myself but I can't find anywhere in my profile settings to change it. Thank you!

Thanks Cheryl and Kevin. I formed the damp leather around a wood block that I made on a table router. It took quite a bit of poking and proding with my fingers to get the leather wrapped around the corners nicely. Then I cut out a cavity into a piece of foam I had laying around and set it on top to hold the shape till it dried a bit. This was my first attempt at formed leather, and I was quite happy with how it turned out. Here are a few more pics if you're interested. P.S. - Kevin, can you tell me how to get rid of the USA flag by my name? I can't find anywhere in my profile settings to change my country. Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a few weeks and figured maybe I should introduce myself and show some of my work. My name is Cam and I took up leatherworking as a hobby almost 2 years ago. I got into traditional archery, making longbows, and decided that making archery accessories was the next logical step. I started learning to tool and carve leather on some arm guards, and have since made quivers, knife sheaths, pouches, etc. Seems I do more leatherworking now than archery related stuff. Anyway, here are some pictures. A quiver and arm guard More Arm Guards Some knife sheaths A pouch for a compass Thanks for looking!
