Nice! I'm attempting shoes myself. Simple chukah style. I have crepe sole and have just a knife to cut it in the past with no issues. Not sure if all crepe is created equal?
Great job. Keep us posted on the progress. I think back on the history of such items and what they have been through and seen. Preserve history where you can!
Thanks guys. To be fair I'm not so worried about how they really look. I'm more worried about the alcohol dye drying out the skin and I'm not sure how to seal that dye
Hello all! Hoping for some input. I made a pair of sheep skin mittens. They turned out great! The skin side is white. I want to dye it a different color. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with that. I have alcohol based dyes
Dont sacrifice weight over safety. A sheath is also supposed to protect the wearer from accidental cuts and stabs. At some point we all slip trip and fall. Make sure you put a good welt in there too!
