Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm going to try all three. I,ll put up a pic as soon as it's finished. Thanks again

I'm sure this has been asked a 1000 times, but I've missed the answer somehow. I've got the gold in the lettering, and I have some more tooling to do on the wallet cover. The problem is, every time I try to dye a practice piece I end up coloring the gold too. I've used cotton daubers, light strokes with a paint brush, rags wrapped around wood blocks, among other things. The material for the wallet is pretty thin so I cant go much deeper with the stamps. Can someone please help? I'm still pretty new at this. Thanks very much!

Thanks ENT, I'll do that.

Man, Gotta love Rat Fink! Or any thing by Ed! Showing my age again. Very cool, Busted!

Wow! Very nice. The material matches the grip perfectly. The rivets were a great idea. Wish I still had my lathe so I could borrow it. (the idea)LOL

A little better look at the bag. The XM radio antennea is velcroed to the lid. Thanks again.

A couple of things I made for my Harley. Not real fancy but, they serve the purpose. When I get the courage up, I'll carve the cane holder. Thanks for looking.

Very nice Tina, I just turned to stone looking at it! LOL

Thanks alot Holly, I will look her up. A three ring setup just wouldnt look right. I think I was going through a gilded phase with the cigar journal. I really like the material on the wine book but, I'm not real sure what you call it. Pebble grain? 6-7 oz I believe. Very nice color. Got some oil dyes the other day I need to learn how to make look right. Still learning carving and dyeing. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just glad there are so many people here willing to help me. Thanks again Holly. Leon

Gotta figure out how to make pics smaller.

Thought I would try some journals, and these are my first efforts. Not real happy how I attached the pages. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nice Job Busted, Very Moon Racing and Rat Fink inspired. Cool!

Thanks everyone. RDB, I got the magnets at Zack Whites. They come with small tabs on them. You cut slots in your leather or liner, and push the tabs through then bend them over. Then glue your liner down. Pretty easy. If you still want a picture, let me know and I,ll put it up. Randy, You know the best place to have a die made? Thanks again
