I'll offer this with very limited experience , dip dye will be the best even result . By all means I would NOT try the whole side , I would break it down to just over the finished size . Use a pair of tweezers to hold it and if it doesn't dye under the point of hold cut off that little bit . Try 1 piece at the finished size , I will bet the dye will still work under the point of hold . I think I have dipped 3 or 4 items so you may want to wait on someone with more experience -
@DJole Thank you ! @tsunkasapa Thank you !! Little more dye , when it is dry just antique and seal

I was going for orange but didn't quite make it . I am going to have to get some Eco-Flo water based dye ( I have 3 colors of Fiebings and like those but can' t get enough colors out of them ) This will be close enough for proof of concept . Still a couple or 3 more steps ..... boy I hope this don't flop

Well with fall here I decided to do a some leaf practice . I am going ahead and post this carving as I haven't started to finish yet . I think that's THINK I have come uo with a cool way to finish it . I will post it up as I go and it will either work and look good or be a TOTAL mess . Either way I show it . May take a few days to get 'r done !

OUTSTANDING !!!! Huw did you tool the border ? Is that the end of a basket stamp ?
-
Like everyone else epoxy is the fix . In the third pic , is that not a makers mark on the flat of the blade ? If it is I guess you have already done a internet search , might yield some info might not . Top is normal for most lathe turned items , whether home made or factory . Some tool makers will sand it off and some won't .

Thanks , I could not make it out but it turns out it wouldn't have mattered ...... I'm barely fluent in English let alone Latiin Very nice motto and sounds like you used it very well !!!!! Again nice work .
-
Thank you !

Does anyone do it before tooling and is there any benefit ? Top grain not edges .

Looks like might have been a little small or you had planned on 2 rows of stitches . Straighten up the edge and that's not a bad sheath at all . You should have seen some of my early attempts Oh , and thanks for the pics ! -
Really nice ! What does it say on the scroll ?

@Sheilajeanne Better in trouble with the cops than the possible alternative Yes we shouldn't have to carry but the sad truth is we do . It hasn't been many years that all sorts of meanness was going on somewhere else , big cities for the most part but now it's right here in small town USA . Stay SAFE

I " assume " those to be bug bites but I don't know . Most of the leather I have fooled with usually has a few but the shoulder this came out of has quite a lot . Thank you !!

@Frodo Like i said she has had some training , not real sure but I think it was pretty basic . I am pretty sure our local range has classes as well . Thanks
-
Well maybe it will grow on me . I'm still playing , this one is oiled ,dyed , antiqued and then sealed . I think this is what I may be after , more so than the undyed look on the track . Also this piece is a little " flanky " and I kind of like that .
-
Thanks , the bear track is growing on me but the color of the flower and how I dyed it was just a mistake .
-
Thanks , that is the thing to have it on you if needed . There are better options I'm sure but this will be better than harsh words or a cry for help in that instant .
-
I thought about some type of keychain but as you say without proper training my mind went to something sharp and just target the eyes and or throat . Thanks
-
No we are good . All of this is good advice I have given her when she sees a concern at distance , I agree. Distance gives you options , I guess where I failed to communicate is this is a blind door , no camera view , no glass , no peephole , no way of knowing what is on the other side until you open it . This was my big point of concern , just as they step out of the door . I should have been clearer .
-
I finally broke down and bought a cheap 3/4 " oblong , I used it twice and went back to hole punch and cutting to connect the dots . But if I did a lot of that type stuff , I could see dropping some $ on a good set .

Service ..... a thing of days gone by . Sounds like the lady values her customers !! Glad you found all of your needs and are ready to get busy

Nice work on the shoulder rig ! Is that an old S&W 10-5 ?
-
decided to experiment with some dye. Neither of these is much to look at and the flower for a box bottom is a flop ( won't try that again). The bear claw not too bad , I antiqued with out sealing ( on purpose )to see how it looked and it might be of use somewhere down the road .

There is a story about the spelling I'll tell sometime
