Thanks .... I have used a fair amount of Horween.....mainly chromexcel.....bought directly from Horween, and from Maverick leather.....both equine and bovine. It is a beautiful leather and I will always use Horween, (among others as well). I am quite sure if you give it a try, you will really like it.

Thanks will46er......if I am understanding your question, there are two pockets on the inside of the bi fold. They have stitching, simply to match the other stitching. I do not alive.....and yes, it can be a bit thick, but with this horween chromexcel, it breaks in and becomes very nice.

Keep it up. You are off to a nice start!

On Youtube Bruce Cheaney also has a very good, short tutorial on antiquing, a tooled dog collar in this case. Basically......two coats of Tan-Kote or Wyosheen.let dry......Eco-Flo gel antique (Tandy)......let dry for a little bit (he puts it in front of a fan).........then rub in another coat of Tan-Kote which rubs off some of the antiquing on non tooled areas, but keeps it in the tooled areas nicely. After this dries, another Tan-Kote if needed. I have recently used this "system" on a set of spur leathers and it turned out well.......Good luck

Spoken for ........

I sent you a private message

Hello All......I have a couple of basketweave stamps up for grabs. Craftool x811, and x500s. The x500s has never been used, and the x811 has only been used once for a small set of spur leathers. They cost $8 each, but I will sell both for $10 shipped in the con't USA.......Message me if interested.......Don

Is this the Bee Natural Leather Finish? Or is it just a conditioner? I take it it is still good. Has it ever frozen? How much to ship to 89460?

I would be in for a table to fit my Cowboy 3200 if you go that direction.........

I also have a section on a shelf of throw aways........I feel if you aren't making mistakes, you are not learning.....

Just received premium double shoulder veg tan. Very good people and I am very happy with the piece I received.......

Thanks guys....I put it in a zip lock and back in the cooler....we will see how it goes as I won't get to it until Tuesday.

Hello all. I have a veg tan belt blank that I cut from a double shoulder that I am casing ( ala instructions from here). It is in a cooler and ready to tool any time. If I don't get to it and don't start any tooling, can I re-case if it dries out? Thanks.

Wages Silversmith has German Silver (which is actually nickel etc....no actual silver) and sterling silver overlay. They are 100% made in the USA ... don't know if shipping would kill you though.......

Thanks all........I like the soldering iron idea.......I'm looking for a way to seal and conceal the thread ends. I do not like the look of the reversing....what is the beeswax used for re. the thread sealing?

Sold
