    Looks like only spirit dye and plain old saddle stitching to me!

    I think the clue lie in the pewter castings they make. I have a friend that use embossing plates carved by laser from perspex in his clicker press to obtain similar images. Fast, economical for mass production. From the size of the products they make I would guess a similar procedure, rather than heat embossing. For them it would be simple - use a negative image cast of pewter, high density foam beneath the cased leather to accentuate the embossing - clicker press - and there you have it!

    My new year's resolution - to spend more time on leather than on LW! Happy New Year everyone!

    Leg o Mutton Shotgun Case
    Still cannot stop looking at it. If I'm preoccupied - it's because of this!

    Thank you for the pictures. It gives me a good idea of what it must have been like. I cannot compare my own work with those in the pictures - yet ......but sometime .....someday .....when I'm older ..... Citizenship? Eish, Africa bleeds for the loss of her children as the umbilical cords are cut.

    One lucky PH! Yes, the stripe pattern on the legs of the zebra are much narrower and will do for small projects. Zebra skins are expensive because they are a bugger to tan properly - ask any taxidermest or tanner. Now on the detail - how do you get that tiger stripe effect?

    Ghillie, you sure got my attention mentioning your "Leg o Mutton" gun case. Here in my part of the world I have yet to see one. I am very much interested in the inside construction and assembly of such a case. Contact me plse.

    In the Leatherworker.net Home menu - Tutorials - Beaverslayer, I only get connected with the profile page of CitizenKate. I am looking for the hat and vest tutorials that were posted by Beaverslayer on the old site. Hope it didn't get lost with transferring to new web pages. Can you please rectify the link or help me with the tutorials? Name: Schalk Oberholzer UserName: Boertjie IP Address: 41.30.226.81 Email Address: sober@worldonline.co.za
