Nice! How did you work out the holes to match?

A steady hand and good brushs! Great job

Totally depends on where your interest is. As I look down at my wrist brace I see a veiner tool, a seeder and a sunburst and a pear shader. I have several types of each and find I use those a lot

Ha! the slippery slope of "must have"

Also using the appropriate amount of force when you dome and peen. Real easy to bash away and mess things up

I really like how you did the retention straps. And it never hurts to have them even if you don't think you will need them!

Let us know how that goes for you!

Great job!

Very nice..are these for front shirt pockets or back of jeans ?

Impressive as always

Thanks Mike. For sure it's a dance between the pop and flat! Good to know I'm on the right track as that was what I was doing. Raise and form and smooth down. Thanks for the advise folks. Much appreciated !

looks great to me!

Agreed. I could certainly see that the moisture content was a crucial component. I need to get a figure beveler for sure. And then like any other skill practice until ya bleed!

I always look forward to seeing your work

So I've been insanely impressed with these 3d carving and sculptures. So much so that I've tried my hand at a koi fish. For an experiment it turned out OK. I'll upload a pic when I figure out how to resize things. But I'm really interested to know how to make it pop. How to really make the relief stand out. And how to keep the flat bits flat and formed bits formed! So far I've just used a swivel knife and modeling spoon. Tips and advise really really apreciated!

Those are great looking sheaths ! Your girls will be proud of those

That's a great fix !

This type of sheath design (didn't know it was called split toe) has more and more come up on my radar. I think I'll give it a shot.! Thanks for the post

Thats a great looking case!

Sweet! Love the skull

Great job!

Are you saying that this blade cut through the welt and the seam or just the seam threads ?. I have seen welts made of wood with holes drilled through for the thread. Or a kydex liner with leather wrapped around it?

It's a plastic strap....

Nice widow maker
