Anatoli any chance of seeing the inside and what its made of? Did you find a small chest and just wrap it?

I started up a closed FB page for Maine leather crafters if anyone is interested. https://www.facebook.com/groups/669141316622025/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel

Anyone use their drill press? Just received in a couple sets of letters yesterday and tried it and seems to work ok.

Is there a way to guesstimate this measurment to the collar bone ? I plan on making one for my daughter for Christmas.

Thanks a bunch!!

The antlers were off one of the elk he used to raise. My tooling skills still need plenty of work but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Finished the leather in bees wax and neutral shoe polish.

Thanks. He doesn't know about this so I can't ask. Thought about all 4 corners but didn't want to take away from the skull

It's a tandy dbl shoulder. That could be it but it's been through the whole thing.

My brother wanted 5 bar stools done. I dont have the time this spring and summer for that and I need to get a WHOLE lot better at carving before I take something like that on so I am making him this for his bar. I have several knives and they all needed sharpening so I gave that a shot. they are sharper but not as sharp as they should be. they dont cut smooth. I am happy with the scull but not at all happy with the floral work. It will do for this project. Just need more practice. I do have a question here and would like your opinions. Should I leave it with or without the oak leaves? Thanks.

Thanks!!

OK I will get a photo of the back. I cut it to fit the belt so its in my redo drawer...lol Thanks

attempted an inlay. I had a 1oz silver buffalo round so i used that. One very important thing i learned on this holster is when your laying it out the belt slots the back ones are NOT on the same plane as the other belt loop!! DOH. oh well live and learn.

Thanks all. I have made an other one that i will post up.

After wearing it for a while I see what you mean. Im going to try a diffrent style here shortly.

Thanks, most of it i guess stands out to me. smudged some dye and some of the tooling, fingernail marks... Character marks i guess...lol
