Well done Joe, I'm sure she is going to treasure it - as will her sister when she receives hers

Nice work. Really like the antler closure, enjoy seeing something different

Welcome to the forum from the south west of blighty

Thanks for the tip. Something else to try out when I find some time

Welcome to the forum.That looks an excellent piece of work

Welcome to the forum from Plymouth. From your name - are you up in Lancs? As you will be told frequently - the only daft question is the one you don't ask!

Welcome to the forum

Hi Eccho & welcome to the forum

Hi Dan & welcome

Thanks everyone Welcome Eccho - never too late to start

Excellent tooling Kevin, do put up pics when finished.

Thanks for that, I will definitely give it a go sometime. Getting a consistent, repeatable finish would be so useful instead of my more hit & miss result!

Do you mean this?

Nice work. My partner did some peyote stitch jewellery so I know how time consuming it is

Nice work!

Really tidy job. You have to be very precise with a black & white colour scheme!

Very good result for your first efforts, really like the colour. Being aware of your own mistakes means you will be able/willing to correct them next time. I'm with WScott - nobody will see my early attempts

Nice & simple - I like it. At the risk of appearing stupid.................is Boot leather as it sounds? Intended for boot making? Or maybe a legacy of previous use? Bev

After a slight hiatus (at least 25 years) I dug out my tools & the 1/2 side of 2.5mm Tandy leather I still had. A tad green in places & a little..ahem...firm, but it was still useable after a little TLC. I have only used it for projects that are "backed" - clocks, keyracks etc. & although a little problematic to cut it worked ok. So absolutely no need to throw away any leather any time soon Example of the old leather!

That's useful to know Adam - always looking out for recommendations of reliable suppliers. Is that veg tan you have bought from them? Apologies to Caldorn for the mini hijack of his thread
