  1. Thanks to all, I jumped off the deep end with a thicker leather as the tote bag is quite big, they are a beast but should work. Need to finish the stitching on one and then trim both . Thanks again showed my daughter and she is happy with result, will trim up and attach to tote bag when I finish it.

  3. What is the best weight of leather for doing a rolled handle. I plan on having a cord inside. I have 2-3 oz, & 4-5 oz available.
  4. Very nice I also like the look of the ostrich, is that it’s original colour?
  5. Nice work, I also like the pattern and how your colour came out.
  6. Found that it is not as hard as it looks, fiddly at first, but it works out. Thanks, patience has finally hit after all these years. Thanks
  7. They sent me some great photos when they presented them with the bags. Couple thanked me as they will replace the ziplock bags the have been using.
  8. My Daughter got married a couple of weeks ago, I volunteered to make the Groomsmen and Bridemaids gifts for them. They bought some grooming and beauty items to put in them. They were well received. Hand stitched (got new calluses to prove it), Mens bags and zipper border on women's were also dyed, both lined. New zipper skills learned, as they were cut from zipper chain and zipper slide added. I liked how they turned out.
  9. Good stitching, I like the look of brass on my projects as well, it patinas so well with the leather.
  10. The straps are stunning, and thanks for the bit on your thought process and material selection.
  11. Interesting design should age very nicely. Always amazed how we whip off items for ourselves that we deem “good enough” while we try them to see how we can improve them.
  12. Thanks it is saddle tan and then atomic balm changes shade to that warmer hue. Interior is actually some wool plaid left over from a kilt I had made.
  13. In Canada they accept our picture driver licences as I’d on flights domestically. The green carry wallet should come in handy on the international travel as it will house just the cards I really need for travel. It is about half smaller than my usual home carry wallet. It is actually in the corner of the open passport wallet photo.
  14. Thanks I have just started with the coloured dyes, I like how they come out
  15. Beautiful work on both, but that handle is a showstopper, really like how the leather, brass and antler go together
  16. We seem to be doing doing and planning more travel, and I always seem to be searching for passport and credit cards etc, when moving spot to spot. So I decided to do a passport wallet for the moving part of the trips. For when we are based, I found that my daily wallet has a lot of cards that I need at home not so much with travel. So I did up a prototype of a small scale western style wallet with some scraps I had around, to see how it would work out and if suitable I will do a more finished one for travel use. Small wallet
  17. Nice work, really like the colour and how mink oil gives it a natural aged look.
  18. Nice job, I have worked with bison before in some small pouches an it is tough to get the edges finished.
  19. Photo of on the putter and the back with flap medallion. Sorry for two messages on this, resizing is not something I am good at. Thanks and not likely, hands still sore from this stitching.
  20. My wife’s putter head cover was beginning to look a little ratty. I had some scrap green leather and goat skin, so figured I would give it a go and did up a pattern. She is from Ireland so also thought I would try an embossing(likely wrong description of technique) of a shamrock. I think it came out well, and more importantly she likes it.
