for small pieces like that try dip dyeing them first then stamping as the leather gets to the proper stage.

beautiful work!!!!

yes you should. it would depend on the finished look your after on what you would use. I would test any product before applying it to your work on scrap pieces. Acrylic paints, poly sealers for wood, shellac, boiled linseed oil & beeswax, are just some options you can try. Good luck and post a picture of your work!! yes you should. it would depend on the finished look your after on what you would use.

if you do it right the thread won't work itself loose mine never have. Good luck..

try and find the book , Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather braiding, i have an ecopy I found on the internet. It explains everything about rawhide making, cutting and usage its an old book so it is very rustic lol..

nice work and a great start to fishin season. I'd love to take a trip just for the halibut lol.

dang you Frodo. Its the first nice week and I gotta till my garden before i can get my worms to even go fishin.

none! you dont need it.

lol that's pyrography for you it has many names and many ways to do it.

dang that's to bad. we got about a half eclipse here but it was cloudy also so I didn't look very long.

I've also made flat leads from that type of rope by pulling out the core and running a zigzag stitch down them to make them stay flat. if you went this route then stamping and applying a flat leather handle would be easy also. I just don't see an easy answer to this question on a round handle that tight. Good luck!!

beautiful work!!!

or you could try pyrography.

get rid of the rope , it looks cheap, use good leather make a flat strap lead and all your problems go away. plus it looks like a quality product.

thank you!! i took the lens out of my welding helmet and used it on my camera to take pics of the last one.

have it matted and framed by a pro in a shadow box type frame so the glass doesn't touch the leather, Don't hang it where the sun will ruin it.

oh well Teknolagee is over rated!! Been doin good here its almost springtime Good to hear from you, I hope everything else is working. remember you can have bread and water or tea and toast its all up to you lol.

Fred flintstones hard hat!!! What a cool find! does it fit?

lol as long as the roads are open to get the mail here in town they deliver it. Last year the interstate was closed about 80 days this year only two or three. They use these small jeep looking trucks and put on snow chains when needed.

my edit button was lost also, about the time you folks gave me and Frodo the CFM thing under our names that no one else seems to have. Hope that helps to solve this riddle it was long time ago.

Thanks!! You all got a well deserved break from my BS.

i got a my pioneer license this year so free fish, birds and small game, that's as close to winning a lottery as i'll ever get, I couldn't be better lol.

happy Easter to you as well it was wonderful day.

nope I was not banned and I wasted six bucks last week on that lottery to no avail. I wont discuss the reasoning of my absence any further. I hope you all have been well and really really appreciate the concern, it does mean a lot to me. God bless!! Chuck
