Not bad, it looks like it is already worn in!

Nice!

Haha thanks! I couldn't fit the cigar in the mask!

Thank you! I really liked the whole process and I think I'm hooked too!

Thanks. I like the snap a little better because then I don't have to worry about making a loop to hold the excess leather. I also like the look of snaps better

I bought a watch from a megaboxcheapy store and the band was faux leather. It fell apart rather quickly and so instead of buying a new watch band I realized I could make one similar to the original but better. Here is the fruit of my labor. It is goat skin and brass rings. I opted for snaps instead of the usual watch/belt buckle thingy because I was making it for my wrist and I knew how big my wrist is. The worst part I had to go back to the store and buy another watch because as I was working on it the darn thing slipped through my fingers and proceeded to land face first. Luckily I just had to pull the pins on the old one and pop the new one in. Please let me know of anything I could do better

Hey everybody. Here is one of my recent projects that I did for Dia De Los Muertos. I really liked the way it turned out. I am open to critiques please! I posted it in critique my work but I didn't get any input as of yet.

Nicely done!

Ok now I understand, thank you! The nice thing might be though that I can just keep carving out a piece of wood and it is a LOT cheaper than a metal stamp. Good for a newbie Thank you!

Nicely done!

So I think I am a little confused.... So when you say the wood stamp would not last as long do you mean the stamp itself or the mark that it makes in the leather would not last as long?

Would a polly cutting board be a decent backer board?
