Frodo

this one is about 5' long .i gave him a pass and drove around it

The top piece I figured the diameter of the horizontal piece [7''] and made the top piece 1'' [8''] . for the fold and sewing only thing I did not consider is the stretching of the leather. I think i will try leaving the extra 1/2 of the 1'' off to compensate for the stretch?

I am using 70% rubbing alcohol and glycerine mixed at 50/50 This only works for reptile, can not be used on a rabbit or deer hide seal it up and let it sit a week. give a shake every day

A Timber Rattlesnake made the mistake of crossing my path Here he is in a tanning solution. He will be ready to remove next monday or tuesday 4/12 or 4/13 Not sure if he will be a wallet or check book cover.

I was asked in another thread how I achieved this color This is what i use and how I do it,

stuff a cotton bandana into the hat remove and wash every week.

lol a test run to work out problems. and i found a bunch of em !!!

I gotta know. Did you wet mold that to your face?

LOL We must have gotten leather from the same old dead cow

Love the sculpting on the watch band. Do you mind if I give that a go on a Holster?

I do not know about you guys , For me a $50.00 rubber replica of a gun to use one time for a holster is not an option. I had to wet form a holster for a femaru-Fegyver M37. Go to this site. copy / print the image http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Category:Pistol&pagefrom=Liliput+pistol I cut the image out and glued it on plywood that is the same thickness of the gun. cut it out now i have a template that did not cost but $0.50 not $50.00

no pattern. just visualised used a tape measure. lol
