Front strap is Chicago screw, the buckle side is rivets.

Go for it! Flask covers are extremely quick and easy to do.

It wasn’t too bad. Basically a couple days is all. Tooled in the morning, dyed in the evening, Dried overnight, burnished and laced up with rawhide the next day. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks again so much for all the compliments! I haven’t been doing leathercraft all that long so I feel extremely flattered!

Thank you for all the nice comments! I drew and designed everything myself.

I would get one at that price as well!

Your color combination is fabulous.
There really are. It amazes me how some people on here are able to make things so 3-dimensional and lifelike. Thank you for the compliments!

Thank you, for all the wonderful comments; I greatly appreciate it. I still feel in awe of so many other’s work on here that I just hope that I can get to be 1/2 as good.

I did use my pear shader. Maybe I need to be a little heavier handed, though? I’m always nervous that I am doing too much. Also I was able to find some hardwood dowels, so they will be a bit nicer, now.

No honestly, I really appreciate it. Boise is about 2 hrs away. I’ll definitely see if I can find someone and I will look into the link and go with my best option. This is fantastic!

Wow, that’s gorgeous!!! Love how you used the cow horn!

Unfortunately, I have no idea... I am not sure if there are any around, as the only lumber mill around here that I know about burned in the summer from a wildfire. I’ll have to ponder this and see if I can figure something out.
