Sorry did I read this wrong I think it says ten to twelve once OZ veg tan leather you cant sew that in a 563 juki
-
10/12 OZ is light weight in what world

It would still be nice to know what your making with the so called "general cowhide" for the larger items, and it would be nice to know just what Exotic things your making with Exotic leather, anyway have fun LOL just to let you know some folks on this site could think the term "Exotic Leather Products" means BDSM gear it's kind of like "forget about it" has a lot of different meanings.

Last week a guy posted a pic of two holsters he got around a half dozen good comments those are beautiful nice work all that and rightfully so but I saw something that could have made them look a lot nicer so I let him know he got back to me and said he agreed with me I did let him know it was just my opinion for me I want people to critique my work I don't think you would find one person here that would bust someone's balls no matter how bad the work in people on this site are not like that. as for people not looking at your work or not posting about it you never know why I think Monday was a holiday but to go to people just don't like my work for whatever reason is not good reasoning on your part I hope this post helps by the way I do like your work but the reason for doing it is even better. I did see one thing though on the flap just kidding have a nice day.

crease leather like hand stitching all that depends on many different things, like what kind of leather your using, the use of what your making, the look your trying to get, back stitching is it necessary the first answer is yes can it be done without back stitching yes but it's not done unless it's a special look or reason for it. It would be best to know what it is your making "Custom Exotic work " is not saying much people on the site would want to know things like how thick the leather your working with is and , what your making , the more info they have the more you will get back hope this helps.

was not sure how you would take that but I did a wood carving and like you thought wow it would be nicer with a black back round almost just when i started i thought nope this is not good but I got it done stepped back took a look and in the junk pile it went LOL we have all done it your work is very nice my friend don't let that set you back I know you wont .
-
Nice work this is just opinion I think the black in the back round was really not necessary it's a very stark contrast which makes your eyes look at what parts are dark and what parts are not then it starts to look inconsistent it makes me think of a beautiful woman with bright red lipstick and very heavy black eye liner she just don't need it but all that said you did a beautiful job .

I use a head knife for most cutting it's always what I call crazy sharp it's the height of the knife that shows vertical position the red cut boards for clickers work best for me and are worth the investment. Sharpening maintaining a "properly" sharpened blade should take seconds not even minutes a blade is not sharp until stropped. Sharp Blades VSB very sharp blades! makes cutting easy.

Nice job on that Doc the lettering is very cool I'm sure that youngster is loving it ! you know a nice stitch line around the border with some heavy black thread but that said it's a great looking job.

Spray it you save product get a even coat it's faster you can blend colors it's just better all around IMHO that is.

Chuck I live in a nice small town just outside Boston MA every so often people come in the driveway at like 2 am and check the doors in all the cars in the neighborhood they don't take the car just whatever you may have left in it.
