    That's a great bag. Very cool details and everything.

    I want to start buying a few nice tools over the next year or so. I don't own a head knife or a skiving knife - I've been using the super skiver from Tandy. Which knife do you guys find the most useful for skiving? I assume people like head knives because they're multi-purpose. I'm talking about a normal (or small one, which I'd probably prefer) head knife as opposed to the (for example) vergez blanchard high speed paring knife: And some prefer this: http://www.handtools-uk.com/product_info.php?products_id=1605

    Welcome to the forum, Kristine! Before you dive in, you should search for stingray on this site. Look at a few people's projects, and you'll see the trouble they've run into. Stingray is one of the hardest leathers to sew nicely, and it's expensive, so that will hopefully save you a lot of money and headache. I've never worked with stingray, partly because of the above. However, if I had to, I'd do inlay on top of a piece of veg tan to eliminate the edge problem and hide the stitching line. But that's probably not the look you're hoping to achieve. I know another member was researching clutch stiffness recently (http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=62432&hl=kymberly), maybe she's figured out something that would work. As you can see, she didn't get much help - not many clutches on this forum, and the ones I've seen are soft. However, I'd love to see your solution to the problem!

    Sweet! Very unusual looking. I love the calf, also.

    Nice job, TRH. I was too busy this month, but hopefully should be able to participate next month.

    Cool, nice cases, too.

    Nice! I've seen way worse stitch lines on stingray - looks like you're doing great.
  19. MonicaJacobson
    Nice, can't wait to see how it turns out!

    Those are really lovely. Who is your supplier? Or is that a closely guarded secret.
  21. MonicaJacobson

    Thanks so much for the tutorial, Clyde! I'm going to give these a try and post pictures in the next couple of weeks.

    I've been putting 3 thin coats of resolene on mine, and I get no bleeding problems. I'm not saying it's a proven edge (I haven't tried it long enough), but after three thin coats (1 every twelve hours) if I rub a wet cloth on it, nothing comes off.
