I have a design cooking on the back burner...I may have to contact you.

Cobra Steve or check on eBay. There were a few for sale last month to include a couple of heads only. Also check your local Craigslist. Good luck

Try a scrap project and report back......I would also try something stronger like lacquer.

Nice job.

I was going to suggest a black brdle to save yourself the issues. I am sorry to see this though....i know how much goes into making these. good luck

Welcome to the forum....nice collar!

PurpleFox Let me give your skiver a thought. I might be interested. Sorry to hear that you are selling.

Sorry to hear the news......I wish you the best of luck!

Have you tried stropping your groover tip? You can use unwaxed thread covered with rouge and run it through the tip hole. This usually steps up the quality of your cut a step or two. Good luck!

Hello and welcome to the forum. Nice work you have shown there.....Keep it up!

I usually wet the leather and then groove for my stitching channel. If I want to keep it as a way to decorate you will have to have a sharp groover or make multiple passes. Of course, we are talking about an adjustable groover so that you have the same distance during each pass. One of the best and sharpest groover is the one made by Bob Douglas available through Sheridan Outfitters in Wyoming, USA. Good luck

Gotta come through Texas for BBQ. Junction, Texas has a pretty good place I like to stop enroute to CA. Of course, Central Texas has Cooper's, Blacks, Salt Lick and Franklin's BBQ, if you are interested. I am always willing to meet new leatherworkers. Safe travels!

I have a wife in the same hobby as yours......I have stolen (borrowed) her templates quite a few times.

Very nice work!

Sorry Art.....I cannot please everyone!

And, that comment deserves a decal. send me your mailing address via a PM. Thanks for the comments!

That looks like my Ray Hackbarth SK. I believe I have a catalog to help you.

No idea.....looks a bit unusual. It would look nice in my collection if it will be for sale.

Very nice!
