    Looks pretty good to me, the "jacked up" letters give it "charachter" Keep up the work and it will get better as you go.

    are you going to leave the stitch like that? Looks good so far

    Barrel size is a personal preference and the smaller ones, in my opinion, help with the tighter curves. That being said, however, I have a 1/2" and a 3/8" barrel from Barry King and I use them both depending on the pattern I am doing at the time. The Barry King knives are $45 and include a blade. They are not the cheapest and also not the most expensive either. But the are quality tools.

    Look like bug bites to me........let me guess......Tandy??? This can happen on many hides.......the cows are not in a bug free environment!

    Looks good to me......I would be careful and make the stitching straight and even as it will show up really well on the dark hide. JMHO
