I hope this is in the right section, but has anyone had a customized stamp made for their business? I already have the art made, just need to find a place to craft it now that wont break the bank.

From the album: Ragingstallionleatherworks
I have never done more than a small Sheridan piece, usually a single flower as practice, this is my first large piece. its almost 2.5' tall. although I know I could have done better, I am still happy with how this turned out. This is the back for a gift I am doing, which is an other first as it is a purse (I have never even tried one before). when it is all done and assembled I will post it. -
And the backing is finished, now to start working on the other pieces of this gift.

Just an update on this project, still a ways off, next step on this piece is tan antique finish. Picture is still crappy though

if you are using a computer, download an easy to use free program called irfanview. resize the picture so either the highest pixel for either width or length is no more than 400. if you are using your phone, my android has photo resizer x, which was d/l in the play store for free. but there are several apps that will work as well. look forward to seeing your stuff

Welcome to the forum. I am relatively new here as well and I found this site to be pretty useful for not only ideas but for things that I may be messing up on. Hope this site gives you ideas as well as answers any questions you might have about leather-working and that we will get to see some of your stuff soon.

I made one of these myself, but much poorer quality so it is only for use, not looks...until I make an other one that I can be more proud to show off. As for your question LederRudi, the pocket can be used for what ever reason, just like with anything else, but usually these pockets if you are an avid archer, even for target practice, things such as extra knocks, arrow pullers, finger gloves, bow wax and such are stored in there.

tremendous work, great look, great detail. you put a lot of work into this, and it turned out fantastic.

My First Quiver
Ragingstallion replied to Old Coach Saddlery's topic in Archery Quivers and Bow Cases
nice, I agree with halojones that I would have reversed it, but I love the way this turned out for you. nice backwoodsman style. -
although not a good picture, but it is coming along. Kind of at a stand still point as to what to do next. I will figure it out though, picked up a few helping booklets from tandys to give me ideas. appreciate the reply well, although I have not done a large piece of fine detail celtic work, my bracer, and my work space mouse pad have both been tooled with celtic designs. I much prefer to do celtic tooling than this. well, not really a problem giving it away. even my first commission I did, all I had him pay for was the materials. I do not find my work anywhere near decent enough to start selling for the labor portion of it. but thank you

Imagine doing this with my hands and arms, arthritis, carpel-tunnel a tendonitis. I love leather working, but can only do it for so long before my hands freeze up.

I never really considered how much work goes into certain projects. Sheridan and other forms of floral carving seem to be the most common when it comes to leather craftsmanship. We see it everywhere but I never understood how much work really goes into it. This is my first attempt and I'm still not done with this one piece but it is the back of a purse I am doing for my mother as a present.

I too would love to have this pattern and assembly instructions -

Just when I finished her collar, gave it a protective spray coat, had to get a picture of it buckled up. -

just a close up of the detail on my girls collar. I went through a lot of blades cutting that top layer out. but it looks really good on her. The little logos on both side of the name, are actually pine cones, since those are her favorite toys. yeah...not great detail on the tooling of those, but I gotta say, it is hard to find a good image, or even create your own of one. -

my personal wrist cuffs. I am not much for wearing jewelry, but I do love the look of these. -

just a close up of the bracer work. I know a few things I could have done better, but for one of my first 10 projects ever, I am really happy how this turned out. -

Love the way this turned out. although the back ground on it looks a little blue, I assure you it is black. -

Im sure your stuff is great. I still have not figured out how to navigate this site completely yet, but would love to see some of your work.
-
Appretiate it. As for a close up, this is the best I can do, as I have not taken any new pictures this was right after I finished it. Also, my own personal wrist cuffs that I finished last week. Really love the way these turned out.
-
they are carved, beveled, the only color I added to the horse heads was the white in the eyes. they darker tan is a result from the protective spray I used over the whole project.
-
Appretiate it, and will post a closer look on it if you want. but not sure what you mean by "how have you done the horse heads?"
