VERY NICE, Oli ! Isn't it nice to mold leather. I get such a kick when I take the piece out of the mold, after it dryes. Presto ! you have a molded case !!!! VERY NICELY DONE. KEEP POSTING>

I have 3 different Paul Burnette ORIGINAL hand carved, & hand painted leather insert, & solid brass buckles. I have duplicate of the horse head ones, so I'm willing to part with one of them. It will fit a 1.5 inch belt. I purchased them in 1984, in upstate New York. I'm asking $100.00 + shipping.

VERY NICE WORK !! Did you hand, or machine stitch ?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO PURCHASE 5/32 inch calf lace. NEED, BLACK, BROWN, & NATURAL COLORS. NEED SUPPLIER WITH BEST PRICE !!!! IT"S A BIT WIDER THAN 1/8

OMG WHAT A PIECE OF CRAFTMANSHIP ! ! ! What kind of leather did you use ?? Did you dye it the cream color ??

I just heard of the passing of Paul Burnett. He was, & still is an insperation to me in my leather work. Back in 1984 I was on vacation in upstate New York. At the gift shop of Howe Caverns,I saw some beautiful hand carved, & hand painted leather insert brass buckles. I had to buy one ! NO I'LL TAKE ALL THREE... Here they are 30 years later, still brand new. Check them out. You can see Paul signed, & dated them....

CHECK EBAY, you'll get some prices there, so you can compare..

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. Your work is inspiring !!! I have a question. What is the tool you use for the weave effect, on the bag, the first & 2nd rod bags ??

There is a thread in ,dyes,paints glue etc posted on 2/21/12 About black dye rubbing off. Somone sugested we do a teaching thread about dye ruboff, & how to solve the problem. I see the problem all the time on our site. Black dye ruboff, also RED dye has a tendensey to rub off. Do you think it would be a good idea to have thread to be up for all to just go to if they have this problem with dye rub off.

I WOULD TAKE TINA'S ADVICE !! A FEW years ago she gave advice about angelus dys. They are great, so are FIEBINGS. YOU HAVE TO DILUTE THE DYE, AS TINA SAID...

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !!! I would love to see a photo of the leather, before you dyed it. I love clocks made with leather. There are so many different types that can be done using leather. "LEATHER", what a beautiful medium to work with !

THANK YOU, BOMA One more question: did you hand sew, or use a sewing machine ??

I showed the bag you made to my wife. She Loved it so much, that now she wants me to make her one. Is there anyway you could e-mail me the cutting pattern ? Not the tooling pattern, the parts patterns.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !!! 2 questions, What type of leather did u use fo the lining ? Is the gusset one piece ? BEAUTIFUL STYLE, Did you design the cutting pattern ??? I guess that was 3 questions . LOL

VERY NICE. Like to see the inside of the wallet. What size lace did you use ? Never seen the mex round stitch. How is it done ? Looks good !

LOOKS BEAUTIFULL !!! I use W&C for my dog collars & leads. I also now use it for belts. Not dyed or carved. W&C has some nice leathers !

No, they are hand set. flat head spots from "The Standard Rivet Company"

Here are some new belts I just finished. They remind me of belts from an old leather shop in East Village in New York City Back in 1970 !

I use it as a marker, & also if you put enough pressure, it looks like stitches. That's what I use it for . I just made a belt for a customer, they wanted it to look like it was stitched, without the sewing. Know what I mean ??

THANKS ART, thats what I'm looking for. I guess I'll order one from Bruce, or Jeramiha Watt ! Thanks to all for your help ! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Who is Bruce ???

I'm looking to purchase a #5 overstitch wheel. I already went through 2. They wore out where the wheel gets attched to the shaft. I'm looking for a well made one. Any sugestions ???? PS I seen one in the Weaver catalog, Jeremiah Watt's for $65.00 A littel pricey, is it worth it ??

I just finished making a quiver for my brother-in-law for christmas. Since it's going to be used outdoors, I'm wondering what type of protective finish I should use. It was dyed tan, using feibings dye,& than lightly antiqued, using feibings brown antique paste. WHAT SHOULD I USE TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELIMENTS ??? PS: I also carved a deer & mountians,with tree,dyed with green, & brown, & just a touch of white acent
