    Hmmm... How long does it take to make leather from fresh hides, and then make a bag from them? How long does meat keep unless you freeze it? How do you practically keep the frozen meat linked to the hide the bag is made from? I can see it for the guy that eats there 2 - 3 times a day. He probably did eat part of the cow that made his belt. The idea you can eat here today and buy a bag made from that cow today - I don't think so... But eat meat here and buy a bag from cows served here - that I can see. Interesting marketing tool though. That's thinking outside the box for sure.

    I've seen on tv some resturaunts aging their meat. Can't remember how long exactly, but a quick internet search said 20 -30 days. http://bbq.about.com...a/aa030301a.htm

    On a side note- I've been trying to come up with a tag line for my website. I think this post gives my idea some merrit. " Leather- It's what was for dinner" ...... :P I just need to see if Sam Elliott is available for a voice over.

    :helpsmilie:

    After the visitors (semi-residents) of the chat room started noticing rings on Johanna's table :oops: , they decided that coasters were needed for the coffee cups and other beverage containers. :Lighten:

    So- come one, come all and take the challenge! :showoff: Make up a coaster!

    No rules... ok... ONE RULE: It has to be no larger than 4". Make it round, square or anything in between. Carved, stamped or whatever else is fun.

    We'd like to see what you come up with by January 31, 2011. This is just the project to stave off the after holiday blues and the soon to set in cabin fever. Everyone is welcome.

    New to leatherwork? Perfect way to get your feet wet.

    Old seasoned-pro? Try something completely different!

    And just a reminder - the chat room is always open :gathering: and the semi-residents don't bite. (Well- not often and they have their shots.) :crazy: Come on in, get some coffee, shoot the breeze, ask questions or just sip some coffee and watch the antics! :bike:

    Post your creations anytime! Can't wait to see what comes out of all these creative minds here!

    (No, I can't take credit for this idea. Thank MarkB and Superchute when you see them.)

    Another goregeous piece, Bob. :spoton:

    I really enjoy seeing your work because it makes me look closer to figure out "why" I like it so much. The details you take the time to do really make a difference in the over all design.

    If I'd let my OCD comment on something to critique... The OCD would have made the holes for the buckle tongue on the strap hit exactly on the round spot instead of (I am sure) on an exact measurement. I guess I'd take the visual spacing over a measurement with that kind of detail on the strap.

    Take that comment with a grain of salt and a cold brew. :cheers:

    Thanks for showing another inspiring piece of work!
