I'm working on him next!!!

A carving I did tonight. Needed to replace one that I sold.

Very nice holster! I like the look of the vintage tooling. I also like the pistol! Used to have a .36 cal. just like it. Nothing like hot lead and clouds of blackpowder smoke! HA! Storm

Well I guess I will have to move to Santa Fe for the delicious chilis and the leather dyes.HA! Storm

Beautiful piece Gary! I like the look of and the idea of combing the elephant and the roo lace. I want to get some real Croc and lace it up with roo. The official Paul Crocodile Dundee Hogan wallet! HA! Nice to make things that you like. Storm

Another Dream Journal. The Kanji character on the front is a stylized version of "DREAM"

Muito obrigado! I thought that you might be from Brazil. Your work is great! So great that I would like to ask a favor. Could you tell us your first name? Poderia dizer-nos o seu primeiro nome? Your site name is not as personal as your real name. The guys are right! Your hand stitching is to be envied! Seu nome do site não é tão pessoal como seu nome real. Os caras estão certos! Seu costura a mão é para ser invejado! Merry Christmas and welcome to the site. Feliz Natal e boas-vindas ao site. Pour me a Caipirinha and have a Happy New Year! Deitar-me uma caipirinha e ter um Feliz Ano Novo! Storm

This is exceptional for your third project! The logo is done very nicely and very clean! Storm

Feliz Navidad! You are cooking with some new and different things today! Heirloom Christmas ornament! Storm

Gary, Never was it truer to say "What the mind can concieve of and believe in it can achieve!!! But did you guys install the hydraulics so that it can go up and down? Nicely done man!!! Storm

I have not used the Pebble backgrounders before but due to Caroline (Leatheroo) I found them at a superb price. Ordered up a set and some new flower centers too. The price was way to good to pass up. To use that colorful vernacular oft times found in the land of the Southern Cross...Good on you Caroline!!!! But also Bobby I know what you are saying however I have also tried to create a sort of pattern when I encounter such a large area. Now I will give the Pebbles a BamBam! It is one in the morning and I am coming up with obscure Flintstones puns. Too much expresso again. Storm

Nice job! By the way tell Lexi she will regret pesteirng you . Looks as though she craves attention and that phone number is to good to pass up. HA! Now I know what to do with my AT&T rollover anytime minutes. LOL! So tell your friend that if she recieves phone calls for her dog that it's just the Sheep Dog from down the way. Keep up the good work. Always be proud of your work. It has a portion of your life invested into it. Can't ask for a better gift! Storm

A superb piece of carving and construction. Good flow on the pattern and well executed. The edging is very nice indeed. It is a masterpiece and something that anyone would be proud to claim as their own. The color would, for myself, be superb. What did you expect to get in the way of color might be a better start to helping you. My understanding of Aniline dyes is that they are more of a large scales method of coloring an entire prepared side of leather. Might you tell me where you are from so that I may have a better idea as to how to help answer your question. To demonstrate what I am saying,,,,,if you are not satisfied with this briefcase then I would be more than happy to take it off your hands. Just Email me and I will give you my address. I would even be more than happy to for its shipping. I would also promise that it would find a good home with me. Storm

Very nice work. I love the Tribal stuff! Storm

This one has one of my new florals(Needs some adjustment) and I tried something new. First as we here in California have to deal with only certain types of non-oil or alchohol I tried something different. I added alchohol to my regular All-In-One and it works a lot better. I will say that it will take awhile to find the right blend but it is a start. The same problem was occuring in my not being able to get black spirit dyes for backgrounds. Funny thing is that here in California you can't buy spirit dyes at Tandy...however you can go to certain shoe repair/Shoe Finding houses and buy the same thing. There is one near Western and Santa Monica Blvd. called SADERMA. I bought a 4 0z. bottle of Angelus Spirit Dye(Jet Black) for $3.00! Thought I would share this with my other friends here who are in the same boat. Beats having to drive across statelines in order to get what you want! LOL! Storm

I agree! Your lady is going to love this one. I like what you did with the interior. Storm

Yup! I have seen the Pebble Backgrounders but at this point I would have to pay more for them than I would like. I am looking at some flower center though. These stamps can run US$30 to US$60 each. Plus the bloody shipping is obscene. Just have to put it on my wish list. Maybe a few more motorcycle seats and it may get closer to a reality!HA!

It's all about the Nighthawks at the Diner!

You never know!?!?!? :dance:LOL!

Beautiful work Gary! When you combine elephant and Kanga lace you end up with something durable and long lasting as well as very sharp! Storm

I must have had too much Chianti and Fabba Beans with my steak! LOL!

Beaut work Clarise!!! That is awesome work. Very tight and clean. Storm

New Dream Journal for a customer. Created it with a Balinese theme as my friend is from Indonesia. I have a feeling that some might be curious so........ Peace Kanji Character with the Barong (Barong is a character in the mythology of Bali. He is the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good.) Longevity Kanji Character with the Garuda(The Garuda is a large mythical bird or bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology.)

Very nice job on this one!!I am going to bet your son is going to love it! Nothing says lovin like pounding a hide into a thing of beauty!!! Storm

Very nice work Gary!!! I especially like the filagree with the tourquoise blue background. The style of the purse is great. Storm
