  1. holy smokes!!!!!!!!! love it! an the bird, wow
  2. looks good so far,good job. FYI, when you basketweave, try to case your leather a bit more, and stagger your stamps. let me know if you need clarification on this an I can try to help you out.
  3. nice work! looks very nice. holsters arent as easy as everyone makes them out to be, but it looks like you got it down pat. way to go!

    bobby, its not just the glossy look I dont want, i dont want the acrylic finish. something more soft, supple and natural is the effect im going for. thanks for the input tho. I have a can of neatlac, but havent used up the aresol spray can of it yet, so I havent tried wiping it on.I will do that on my next set of spur straps. thanks

    thanks! thats exactly what I want, a lustrious leather look, not plastic. I put some rudys Tack and saddle conditioner and finishfrom Bee Natural on it, and it seems to be doing the trick. its what I had on hand.but thanks you all for your insight.

    thanks terrymac, I like neatlac as well, but I am going for a softer, more natural feel to my leather items. just kind of testing and seeing what else is out there.more likely than not, I will go back to the neatlac, but I am going out on a limb and trying to broaden my horizons.
  16. new Question in how do I do that, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    ok, so I made a hoofpick holder and dyed it mahogany, but i used a pro dye, which is alcohol based. it really dried the leather out, so I used some lexol to restore the leather. is there some hind of a finish that I can put on it in order to give it a shine, without an acrylic look? I have some resolene that I got from my old work, but have never used. also have some Bee natural RTC sheridan resist and finish, some Rudys Tach and saddle conditioner and finish, and some neatlac. does anyone have some thoughts on this dilemma? BTW, sorry bout the pic looking sideways
  18. found a ferdco 440 for 1000, anyone have any feedback on this machine?
