That is very nice, bet he loved it.

Thank you, sat in their a while after cleaning the area just looking at the tools. Forgot some of the names, slowly coming back. It was just like riding a motorcycle hop on and open her up. Thank you, the wood grain was fun. Used a different technique than have used in the past. Thank you, it is good to be back. Thank you, nice to be able to share again. Wow that is a long time, getting older is not for sissies. It is funny we spend our youth earning money, then when we are older we spend it on our health. Glad to hear you are able to manage your condition better.

Finished this guy up tonight, the cowboy is a Jim Linnell drawing, and the floral is a Don Gonzalez drawing. They go together quite well. It is such a fun caricature you can almost smell the manure and sweat.

I have been away from leather for about a year and a half. I was not tired of it, but had other things come up. These are my first three pieces, with the last being the figure carving. The results pleased me, I thought it was going to take me longer. The pieces are for a notebook cover for me, the figure carving will be on the inside front flap (sleeve), the basket weave will be the spine, and diamond will be the back cover. Glad to be able to share again.

Sure, I use a form a friend made out of walnut and sealed them because of the wet forming I don't want the forms to absorb the water. I fit these specifically for the Pedron cigar in the tube. The person I made this for wanted it to hold four cigars. A great video to watch about how it is done is this one. If this doesn't answer your questions feel free to ask.

Thank you,

Well done, she will love it.

Nice job, the lacing looks top notch.

Like Chuck said, not to dent the cigars. agreed, thank you More ladies smoke cigars than I would have thought.

Had a friend ask me about a 4 finger cigar case to hold her cigars for the day. This is the first one off of the forms that a friend made me. Now to make 3 and 2 finger cases.

Thank you, I used Weaver 3mm irons, and size 270 thread from my class 4 sewing machine. Then ran it through wax.

Thank you it was a fun challenge. I agree with you 100%. Thank you, they do work the eyes.

Thank you, I agree it shocked me how much time goes into such a small piece. But was a fun project Also an alligator band.

Made a couple watchbands 1st one is Ostrich with Wickett and Craig tan on the inside. The 2nd Is burgundy bridle from Wickett and Craig with a Tan underside. I didn't realize the time that goes into making one. 4 hours per band.

Nice job, definitely cheaper than buying.

Possibly, but it is out of my wheelhouse.

Thank you Thank you Thank you, I used this stamp https://leatherstampstools.com/steel-stamps/823-tool-for-leather-craft-stamp-424b-iuergen-volbach-stainless-steel-size-14x11-mm.html Glad I could, partial to them myself. Thank you,

Worked on a flask wrap to compliment a great new cigar. What can be better than Leatherwork followed by a cigar and refreshment.

Nice job, do you dye before forming or after. Thank You

I used neatsfoot oil on Herman Oak and this is what I get. Thank you. Thank you, go for it.

Thank you. I agree but the logo doesn't have the ground so I kept with the Stolen Throne Logo. Thank you

Today I was down at the cigar shop enjoying Stolen Thrones newly released today cigar. I went home and quickly carved this wallet face to take back and show them. Less than an hour in it. It was a quick job but I am p[leased with it and so were they.

Thank you for the time you spent critiquing my work. It is appreciated, only way to grow.

I got the Basket stamp from Barry King. Thank you will try doing the overlap the same.

Thank you Thank you, it was a fun little project. Looking forward to seeing yours. Thank you, edges are dyed will have to try natural burnished edges soon. Thank you Thank you
