    I killed and tanned it.

    You like those emojis, don't you?

    sometimes all it takes is a hammer... Good job!
  4. Rolandranch
    yup

    I did that on a sheath one time. Now I'm waiting for another knife that size to make a left-handed sheath. I agree with Jake... make it look intentional. You never know. You just might start a new fad with rough-out knife sheaths! -Ryan

    16 and old young enough to say I'm ignorant and eager to learn. (I'm a baby leatherworker here.) -Ryan

    Thanks guys! @Rohn It's not a clip-on. You have to tie it. @JMcC LOL! not everything I make has rattlers in it you know. I have a question for anyone who can help. I oiled this tie a lot to get it flexible enough to tie but think I over-oiled it and it doesn't look like it will dry any time soon. Any suggestions for fixing this so my shirts don't get oil around the collar? Thanks! -Ryan

    Ok, guys. This should make you smile... Enjoy! All of the tooling was my own design. The leather is 3-4 oz. veg belly. Comments or critique is always welcome! -Ryan

    Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate it. Here are some more photos including a photo of the back. Thanks, again! -Ryan

    I'll get some more pics hopefully later today. Ryan

    Yep. It's sandwiched between two pieces of 9 oz leather... not to mention the 9 oz back and 5 oz welt... so yeah... it's a bit thick. Thread was size 346. -Ryan Thanks.! I'm thinking of making a pair of Arizona shotgun show chaps with that hide.
  12. Rolandranch
    Very nice! I like it. Congrats. -Ryan

    Thanks, Guys! No, it is not hand stitched. All machine stitched. I'll try to get some better pics including the back. I harvested the snake on my property and tanned it myself I just emptied my freezer by skinning 73 of them. The rattle is counter-sunk into the leather and is held in place with ca glue. @JMcC pm me if you are interested in a rattler hide. Thanks! -Ryan

    Hello, all! My older brother gave me a nice Damascus steel knife for Christmas and I decided to make a sheath that it would look good in. haha! Just kidding... that's the cheap sheath it came with. Here's the real thing... Thanks for looking! -Ryan

    I could probably sell that to someone as woolly mammoth. One customer asked if one of our dragon pens was made with real dragon scales... and he was serious. So my brother suggested that if someone asked what my hair-on leather was, I should tell him/her that it's baby dragon fur.

    For the past year or so my family has been trying to get a laser engraver for a lot of purposes (leather cutting being one). But they sure aren't cheap.

    @Tugadude @KingsCountyLeather Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it! -Ryan

    I cut a template out of cardboard but I will soon replace it with a laser cut acrylic template. Looking into the die although the clicker might be too much of an upgrade at the moment. Would a die and mallet work alright together or do you have to have a clicker press? Thanks, -Ryan
  19. Rolandranch
    Thanks! Yeah, I think I did something right... either the price or the pouch but either way I'm happy. For some of the most exotic pens we have, I will make some special pouches with exotic leathers. My brother is currently working on a mammoth tooth pen... too bad I don't have mammoth leather to go with it. -Ryan

    Thank you, Jeff! I'm glad to hear you like the pens! I will soon be making another batch of pen pouches and you can choose one for free to go with the ordered pen. Thanks again! -Ryan

    Thanks, guys! Thank you, sir. Yes, I am 16 and the entire purpose of my leatherwork, pen crafting, and dog breeding is for college funds. My oldest brother is 18 and in the second semester of his freshman year. -Ryan (aka Nate as on the website)

    Someone is definitely going to grab that really fast. I also have a dog named Sadie... but I have 9 dogs so one might as well be named Sadie. Great work! -Ryan
  23. Rolandranch
    Very nice!

    I need to make a whole lot more. I made them last night and they all sold this morning. @garypl ...So yes, I'm getting that cookie-cutter.
  25. Rolandranch
    Thanks! That print stuff was kinda difficult to work with because it was pretty thin and my cb4500 is mainly for thicker leather but it worked out ok. Thanks, Gary! Yep, it sure did. I made a cardboard template for marking the leather so it would go faster but it still took longer. I cut them with shears (imagine the cramps) and I am convinced that if I want to do a lot more of these, I will just get a custom cookie cutter punch (sorry, I don't know what else to call them).
