  1. Very nice work and I definitely agree with Vikti on heating up the metal and curving them a bit. That is a one of the things we do with our silver pieces on our 925 Collection. -J
  2. Hey Leather Bum thanks for the comment. We are actually going to introduce a line of bracers which will also incorporate our tooling skills. The size I can't remember of the top of my head but you can find them at Tandy's Leather Factory http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/ -J
  3. Hey Tom, I had a feeling you might like it, the thought was running through my mind as I was posting the topic. Thanks, -J
  4. Hey Guys, This is my first leather bracer. I'm using exotic lizard hide for the cross. Lizard hide is my favorite skin to work with. It has a very smooth texture with an elegant look. Let me know what you guys think? I went ahead an posted some behind the scene photos of the bracer along with some other leather cuffs we made that day.
  5. Nice looking cuff and it should sell well. I was actually in the process of coming out with some leather cuffs displaying some authentic buffalo nickels. You beat me .. good job mate ..
  6. Hey Arts, When dealing with Stingray there is really no needle type that I prefer. Instead when purchasing Stingray Hides, I do my best to find Stingray hides that have small size crystals heads that way it's not so tough to work with. Hope that helps. -J

  8. Johanna, I'm very pleased to hear someone out there knows and appreciates the work involved when using Stingray Hide. Stingray is one of the toughest hides to work with because of it's outer crystal like surface. The crystal type surface is hard and un-even making it very easy for needles to brake and gear crooked when stitching. We are actually in the process of coming out with more feminine designs using all types of exotic leather hides. Do you have any samples of your work we may see? Thanks, -J
  9. Hey Art, Thanks for the kind work. I'm glad you like the design. -J
  10. Exotic Stingray Hide Leather Cuff The Stingray Star is an eye shape pattern found on the outter skin surface of each Stingray. There is only one star symbol per Stingray hide, making the Stingray Star a commodity. Try it on for size
