pepin, Thats a great lookin knife sheath ! ! ! The carving is nice & deep. I like the way you did the belt loop in the back. How long have you been carving leather? Where do you come from? Nice to have you on the forum. Post some more of your work.

Does anyone have, or know where I can find patterns for Sheridan billfolds. I just made the interior for the billfold,& I want to carve the back in the Sheridan style. The only Sheridan I've carved was a mantle clock, I love the Sheridan style. Clay Miller has a real nice Sheridan billfold on his web site, for example. Any HELP would be greatly appreceated. craftsman827

Very NICE Wood ! Where did you get the pattern for the belt ? Is it a craftaid, from a book, or one of your own. I would love to carve one for myself. Yours Looks GREAT !!!

VERY NICE KARL ! Beautiful carving. Looks great just the way it is. Time should wear it to look better with age.

WOW, Thats some great lookin seat ! ! ! The colors look great . What tool did you use for the background? 104 ? The Skull Comes through the cross nice. Another good job, Roger.

Tina, Where do you get your Angelius dyes ?

Freak, It's made with one piece of wood for the backing, & 0ne piece of leather folded & tacked to the wood. I have the measurements at work, which I go back to on Saturday. If you want any measurements I'll be happy to give them to you, when I get back to my shop on Saturday. By the way, I got the pattern from an old issue of "Make it with leather" It was from the craftool corner by Gene Noland,Which was in every issue in the 1970's.. I'll get the exact issue or I can scan & copy & post,we'll see.

Very nice Karl ! I like the colors you used, looks very realistic. Your figure carving is very good too !!! Keep posting ...

Thanks everyone !! I found them, I did a serch for pitcure frame hardware, Found exactly what I wanted.

Here is a new matchbox holder I just completed. It's an order, the one on the left is an old one thats in my house. The one on the right is the order. I can't seem to locate the hanger I used on the original one, It was 10 years ago. DOES ANYONE Know where to get one????? I know O.T.B. & Weaver has D-ring with clip attached.Which is what I'll wind up using. I would like to use the original one which I purchased in a craft store 10 years ago, can't seem to find it now. Any help would be apprecated ..

Marlon, where do you get your roo skin for your lace? Very nice work, by the way ! I do a lot of lacing , never used roo yet, I here it's the best. But very expensive, thats why I would cut my own.
