  1. Very nice work. In English it would be natural. I will have to visit Conchos.com , thanks for the info.
  2. All I can say is classy.
  3. Springfield Leather sent me two 4oz bottles by mistake. I had ordered saddle tan and medium brown in the reg antique stain, 32oz bottles. I called them and they corrected it right away . They said to keep the vintage gel. I'm glad they sent it, I like it better than the reg antique stain. It is easier to use and it does'nt take as much for the same coverage.
  4. You did a fine job of capturing the images of the cast. Awesome coloring !
  5. Is the leather that you bought veg tan leather and not chrome tan leather. Hobby lobby will label it tooling leather. Veg tan can be tooled or stamped, chrome tan will not hold an impression. If in fact you have veg tan leather, did you case (wet the leather) this is how you prepare the leather for stamping or tooling. Just google how to case leather for an intro to understand the process. I hope this helps.
  6. Welcome, and be sure to post a few pic's of your progress.
  7. I would contact Springfield leather and see if they could send you a sample of their milled veg tan. It is flexible and has a soft hand. It might be what you are after. I know they carry 3-4oz. They carry 2 thru 6oz.
  8. Welcome, and best wishes in your leather journey!
  9. I really like the block finish method of dying , as YinTx said it is not easy to do right. I have only tried a couple of times and not nearly as well as your project.
  10. Very nice , and my birthstone to boot!
  11. I really like the unique way you put it all together. I never would have thought of a key holder attached to the wallet. Nice job!

  13. I'm not a "skull person" but it looks great.
  14. Is'nt it the way it goes, search and search nothing , then comes the avalanche
  15. It also might be a milled veg tan that is soft, which can be tooled , it can also be beveled and burnished. Pictures might help us to help you.
  16. Great info.
  17. I sure wish you had not posted the jigs, now I have to get to work on my own. Everything is looking good.
  18. What a master piece! This level of craftsmanship just makes you want to smile
  19. Adding the paint really brought it all together.
  20. I think you will get some great projects done in that awesome work space.
  21. Thanks, I will check it out.
