    Thank you both. Mark

    This is the latest belt I made for a friend. Just thought I would share. If the pattern looks familiar, it's because I am still waiting on my mail order art degree from Nigeria and have not drawn one of my own. Mark

    Stumpy, An easy place to start (and where I started) is Tandy. While their leather and tools may not be the best, it is a good way to get familiarized with everything, and learn where you want to go with it. The people at my local Tandy have been helpful enough. They are pretty widespread, so you may be close to one. As far as your questions about leather, thread, and quantity, I will leave that for someone else, as I am still fairly new, and someone else, can likely give you a better answer. When it comes to cutting leather with a laser...I've got nothing... Best of luck. Mark

    I got some of those Watt buckles a while back, but haven't used them, I definitely will put another set of spur straps on my to do list including those. I had a feeling they would look pretty good, and they do. Good job. Mark

    I had the idea to try out some wood stain on some scrap leather today, and after I did it, I found this post, so I thought I would share the results. I used several coats of classic gray 271 by minwax, followed by 3 coats of acrylic resolene. The results weren't all that impressive. It looked a whole lot better on the wood. Mark

    Thanks electrathon, I have more than enough of that stuff lying around from woodworking projects, so I will give it a shot. Mark

    Makes sense to me, Thank you both for the input. Mark

    Thank you TinkerTailor. I appreciate the input. I would like to keep my tools in the best condition possible, so they may serve me for as long as possible. I will look into that. Mark

    Thanks colt, I'll give that some thought the next time I try something like that. Mark

    That looks great, I like the progression of the project shown through the photos. Mark

    I'd like to post full resolution, but the 1.48MB limit cuts down on the quality quite a bit. Mark

    I did this pictoral carving a few months ago. I had never tried pictoral or landscape stuff before, so it's a little rough. It's supposed to be a scene from the Ruby Mountains here in Nevada (one of my favorite places). A mountain reflecting off of a lake in the foreground. I am not entirely sure what I want to do with it as far as color goes (or if I even should). I think color might make it look a little better (if I don't completely ruin it). I thought I would share, I am sure many of you have done this type of thing before, and I am hoping I can get some tips on, at the very least, what not to do. Mark
