    Ha, those are awesome. I also really like the Dad Buys a Souvenir ones. Richard, yours are cool and classic.

    We got our idea from another leather worker on facebook. Of course, he has about three of these walls, and more densely packed.

    What is this witchery?! I already printed the trophy as a poster and hung it over the fireplace, but I am very appreciative of the Gift Certificate. I think you're setting a dangerous precedent, Clyde!

    That's beautiful. I love the design and the stitching.
  5. MonicaJacobson
    Cool, I like it a lot. I think the variation in color will even out sooner than you think as the leather ages.
  6. MonicaJacobson
    LOL, I am very flattered. I will treasure that trophy forever.
  7. MonicaJacobson
    Ha, funny! It's awesome that you guys work together.

    Welcome to the forum! I've only wet-formed one or two projects, and only made one knife sheath (not wet formed), and thus can't give a definitive opinion. However, most sheaths I've seen are either wet formed or tooled, not both. Both operations would be working against each other. Stamping something supposes that you plan to leave it to dry undisturbed. Wet-molding would pull and twist the leather, most likely effacing or distorting any design you put on it. You really need to clamp anything wet-molded into place while it dries, which makes it hard to stamp after you've molded something. You might be able to get around it by some clever means, but it would take some experimentation.

    I have no idea how they did it, but it looks a little like what happened when I used fiebings oil dye over aussie leather conditioner. It has wax in it.. (not by choice, please understand. )

    Really cool bags! Especially the one with inlay.
  11. MonicaJacobson
    Very nice. I love all the different elements of skill, like Rohn said.
  12. MonicaJacobson
    Super cool, Bruno! I love the look.
  13. MonicaJacobson
    Cool! Are you part of the Horween Leather Addicts page on facebook? Your stuff would fit right in.
  14. MonicaJacobson
    Wow, that is a beautiful bag. Congratulations!

    .... I got a strap cutter from Tandy, and either I'm a moron or that thing never worked at all. Probably it was a combination of a cheap tool and me not controlling the cheap tool. Whatever the case, I couldn't get it to give me a consistent strap. At best, I got a wavy line that varied by 1/8th an inch. Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this level of incompetence.

    Ha ha, big lew, +1

    Another vote for Maverick. I haven't bought anything but Horween from them, so I can't rate their thinner garment leathers, but they have a good color selection (it looked like), and they are super helpful and will go out in the warehouse, handle the leather, and describe it and its' condition to you while they're on the phone with you.

    Nice job, Dan!

    Mine arrived in two days. LOL. But I'm in Atlanta, so it didn't have to go far.
  20. MonicaJacobson
    I like your tooling style.
  21. MonicaJacobson
    Cool. I'm always impressed when people get elephant to work. I have a few scraps, and I can't even CUT them straight.
  22. MonicaJacobson
    Cool case!
  23. MonicaJacobson
    Very cool! I've seen one of these as a small charm at one point or other. I love the braiding.
  24. MonicaJacobson
    If I recall correctly what you made before (I can't find it), I do think it's a big improvement.

    Wow, these are super cool. I saved them in my favorites folder. Great job on the photography, as well.
