    I haven't been around much during the past couple of years but I must say that I have always appreciated your work. I really like the design of both bags and do appreciate your desire to get into hand stitching. Sean Dalgetti at Tundra Leather (Hamilton) is an amazing leatherworker and could really help you with tips along the way. Looking at the small bag, I would recommend that rather than ending your stitch line before the opening, go up and around the top with both threads which essentially closes the two pieces of leather together. I just might try to make one up, myself! Thanks for sharing!

    Nice, clean work. You did a great job with the stitching and the edges look good as well.

    I have been away from the leather shop for two years but have just started to get back it. Thought I would bump my belt game up a bit. Here it is. All hand stitched with a stitched-on buckle. It's made with 9oz. belting. I used veg for the black fold-over.

    Good job! The edges really did turn out nice and the stitching looks good too! Stitching that buckle on, the traditional way and finishing the edges like you did, demonstrates your desire to produce work with a focus on hand-made craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing!

    Sharkeyfinn, Looks great! Just curious about the back side of where you turned the leather over to affix the buckle. How did you manage that?

    I dilute 50/50 Wet (with water) and squeeze out a soft cotton cloth and small sponge Wrap the cloth around the sponge Dip it in the diluted resolene. Squeeze out really good Wipe softly, in one direction, across the leather. I use 2 or 3 coats, let dry for an hour or so between coats and give it a good 24 hours before messing with it. I am not set up for it right now but had excellent results with an air brush when I had access to one.

    If you go to my photo gallery, you will see an axe sheath that i made with a birch bark inlay. I made it for my brother. He uses it in the bush a lot and there has never been a problem with it. It's a work axe not something that sits on a shelf.
