  1. One thing that really peeved me about the metric system was when I discovered that there are only 10 eggs in a metric dozen, talk about your shrinkflation.
  2. I finally tried out the basket weave technique using a swivel knife and beveler, and applied it to a note pad folder. I used 4-5 ox veg-tan, Tandy eco-flo stain ( bordeaux) and 6.mm tiger thread in Havana Cigar. I think it turned out fairly well for the first attempt.
  3. Not really for storage, just to reinforce flap and cover up the snap button top.
  4. Another project finished. Clutch purse with wrist strap and shoulder strap. Tandy Veg-tan, Eco-Flo stain ( Bordeaux) and Havana Cigar Tiger thread. The design is a hybrid, including 8 card slots, zippered compartment, and 2 other storage compartments.
  5. Just completed notebook folder. Pattern by Makesupply, leather is veg-tan from Tandy, Bordeaux Eco-Flo water stain and 0.8mm tiger thread ( Havana cigar color). Maple leaf carving was my own creation.
  6. Pancake style sheath I made for a Benchmade folding knife. Inlay is croc embossed veg-tan dyed with eco-flo bordeaux stain. Main body of sheath is stained with eco-flo med-brown.
  7. Beautiful looking piece, what color dye was used on the ostrich leg?
  8. To be totally handmade they would have had to have killed the deer by hand ie: throttled it.

    scrap works

    I love the rustic look.
  10. Very nice, I especially like the stippled background around the deer stamp.
  11. I made this notebook folder using veg-tan 4-5 oz, Tandy eco-flo water stain ( bordeaux), applied with an airbrush. The design on the front is a Triquetra symbol.
  12. Very nice work. I especially like your clever design for the closure strap, it looks a lot cleaner than using a snap or Sam Brown button.
  13. Thanks. Just regular beveling but a little heavier than I wanted.
  14. I Used a scrap piece of 9oz veg-tan to make this wall hanger for my Grandson's gaming room. Template used was a Tandy Craft-Aid. This was my first attempt at using acrylic paints on leather.
  15. Thanks, no stiffener used. The 9 oz works fine. I should have mentioned that the the spline is two pieces of 2-3oz glued back to back which makes it the equivalent of 4-6 oz.
  16. Just finished this Steno-Padfolio. Outer shell 9oz veg-tan, spline, inner shell and components 2-3 oz veg-tan. Dyed with Eco-Flo Bordeaux. Hand stitched with Tandy, waxed nylon thread.

    The Willow hoop

    Very nice work! The only thing I would have done differently would be to have used some type of rawhide colored sinew material for the lacing. It's only my opinion but I think the white strip takes away from your excellent art work.
  18. I like using Eco-Flo. Most colors turn out well and set pretty well. I do put a coat of Resoline finish on for insurance.
  19. Just finished this sheath for a Benchmade folder. I used 5-6 oz veg tan and dyed it with Eco-flo medium brown dye from Tandy. Stitched with 6mm Tiger Thread.
  20. Edged burnished up nicely just using diluted dye and wooden burnisher.
  21. Tri-Fold wallet I just completed. I used a template from "Make Supply". The leather is Tandy croc embossed veg-tan 4-5oz. Stained with Eco-Flo stain in Forest green. Stitched with 6mm Tiger thread.
  22. A notebook folder I just completed. I used 3-4oz Veg tan with a natural finish.
