  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    I believe Chuck brought this point up in the last discussion on this topic

    the only true hand made leather items were made by the Indians who killed, tanned and sewn the skin with the aid of ZERO machines

    they made everything from the knives to the needles.  Machines were not involved

    To be totally handmade they would have had to have killed the deer by hand ie: throttled it.:lol:


  4. 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.
