    I like that idea but thought when I build my table, I may just store my leather flat. Something to consider is putting a curtain or something to block the sun from getting to it. If I lay mine flat on the bottom shelf, I may cover mine with a layer of cardboard to protect it. Do you already have a chunk of marble for stamping? If not, get with a counter top contractor and ask for a sink cutout. They normally have stacks of them.

    Very nice and for a good cause. Great detail on your carving. Especially love the paint you added.
  3. PastorBob
    Got any pics?

    I love the design of the sheath as much as the snakeskin used. Well done.

    Wow! Impressive. Can't imagine the work that went into those.

    What a delightful piece. Growing up on a farm, we had barbed wire and electric fences to keep in the cattle. No wooden fences. The only interaction we had with the fence was trying to talk one of our city friends into peeing on the electric wire. Always good for a laugh.

    very nice. That is really sharp.

    Those look great! Love the stacked leather handle. Wish I had a lathe. Would a belt sander work to shape the handle? Nice work.

    Nice job. The stitching, leatherwork, and blades look great!

    If you have photos on android phone, you can resize there. Open image, press on pencil (edit), the press three dots on right to get anothe menu. Select resize image.

    looks great. Can't wait to see your finished product. Great idea of printing out the photo to use as a guide.

    Nice lookin rig. Glad you got back out to your shop. Nothing like working with leather to sooth the soul. Praying for you!

    It could be from abuse. Did you put any type of finish on it? i sprayed a should strap with saddle-lac once and it started cracking after a while of constant bending of the strap.

    That would even look nice as a wall hanging! Beautiful colors. I can actually see the sun coming up from behind the bridge.

    Very nice. I love the color. That will patina nicely over time. Very clean design.

    That tooling looks great. Would be proud to carry my piece in that!

    Those are super nice. I am sure the couple will cherish them.

    Those are definitely colorful belts! Lots of different patterns. Are they carved?

    Nothing like replicating nature. Great details on them there wolves. Great job on the moon too, carving circles is hard for me to get them perfectly round. Nice job!

    Very nice. Glad you were able to salvage the pieces from the house fire. Never used embossing wheel. Looks great.

    Tandy makes a product called "Saddle Lac" that is a spray on laquer. If your leather bag is fairly stout and doesn't bend much, it will work great. If the bag is somewhat lightweight and can bend and crease easily, the Saddle Lac will crack at the bends and peel off. Simply warm up the can (place can in a ziploc bag and run hot water over the bag), then shake it like a rattle paint can, and spray a light coating over it.

    Not sure if I have one of those or not. My tools are packed up at the moment. What do you use it for? Do you have pics of how you use it?
  23. PastorBob
    As many have stated, those are stunning. The conchos really add that little bit of pizazz.

    It is hard to do free hand lettering, as they are so identifiable. You did a great job!
