I like it

I do the design in corel and transfer to the laser so everything is were its suppose to be . maybe I can dial down the power and laser lines on paper then do like you said. thanks hags are you sewing by hand or machine? I sew by hand and my thread is much heavier then machine thread I think.

definitely will use a smaller bit and pierce with an awl on the next one thanks for all the great suggestions guys.

Deciding how to shape the inlay was the hardest part

yes I totally agree, but its seem every time I try that I mess up the stitch lines and ruin a piece leather. But I'll try again-the outside lines arn't to bad as I can use the groover or compass but the inside lines I have nothing to guide me and my free hand is awefull

Thanks Chuck I'll give that a shot on the next one I do.

Yea an overlay LOL glad you like it , thanks Dwight

OK I see what you mean, move the belt loops out a little bit. Skiving the back side is a good Idea, like you say makes the belt slide easier thanks

oh and your sheath is Great

what would be a good color?

Chuck I dont really understand what your saying what do you refer to as the loop? did you mean make the inlay bigger? What I think I did wrong is the inlay is on top of the leather with a frame around it , not technically in layed. but I really didn't know how to do it on 8oz leather LOL

My first try at inlay, but I think I did it all wrong

not bad

nice work

Beautiful sheath

Thanks I'm just not going to offer my services anymore.

yes but did all the work for promised bigger things to come that were never gonna happen LOL lesson learned

Very cool Chuck great idea and awesome work
