All the dyes will end up dark with a dauber or some sort of thing like that, My method I think works very well I am not peter main but I have good results invest in a airbrush and learn it they make your work much better all around there are other ways to do it but for the best results and still fast action turn to a airbrush. Josh

Mark I love these great work. Would think of sharing the patteren with me Josh

Bob Park Josh

A very Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there you have earned it God bless Josh

Had meaning I have not seen it for a couple years but I will ask him today, Josh

Ray Jordan you guys need some therapy LoL My grandfather had a 1901 holster basketweave very simple design. Josh

I think this is very good topic and I must say that the terms are over used under rated and disfigured in every way when you here hand made you think ok it's junk and why is that because the people that use that tag are not doing very good work IMHO So I say professionally hand crafted to perfection Josh

Thank you for the input. As for the dark areas it is not lighting and it's not cased it is totaly finished in the pictures. I do all my dying with a air brush and I used a diluted mix of Brit tan for the light color and full strength around the bear and corners and letteres the use of a air brush is very handy I can darken any little spot by just lightly adding with the brush. Hope this answers the question Josh

thank you for the input fellows Josh

Ha ha LOL Yes I sure wish I new some one that new had to make me one LOL Thanks Dave for the kind words means a lot. Josh Thank you very much Josh

Thanks Luke The liners are from hitching post supply great liners a bit price. Josh

heres a wallet I have done a few of these, its made of 4 oz veg tan and chap leather middle and has kangaroo liner, tell me what you think of it thanks. Josh PS every thing I do is hand stitched. You photo people let me now on that side thanks, ( Tina, Kate )

I use prewaxed thread and I have big block of wax I run it through it does pretty nice with spirt dye not all the perfect but close Josh

Looks nice good work. On mine I use white thread dye it on the out side and then it's white on the liner side black is bear to get looking just right, white is easyer I think Josh

I can get in to this I have some inside info on the matter, First off I worked with granite and marble a good deal in my work, marble is to soft if it's thin you need I bit of thick piece, as for granite it has a lot of tiny little cracks so a one inch thick piece is ife it might break on you I got a 3 foot by 2.5 foot tomb stone head stone, from a nice lady in the biz the thing is four inches thick I payed $30 for it.
