Like Pastor said Welcome and very nice work !

Very nice !!!

While I thank you very much , unless I did a little " sleep tooling " that is not mine . But it is very nice as is your stuff ! I have figured this master carver stuff out ..... quite simple lots of time and even more leather Well right here is a CLASSIC old man moment ..... I thought the picture you posted was something you thought I did . I started to redo my post but I want all you younger folks to know what to expect down the road

OK, I see and I should have been clearer in that I was asking about surface burnishing . Well as Dad use to love saying " don't hurt to ask " . Thanks Fred

Looks better than I can do , I will leave the what's good and not so good to those who know

Thank you Sir . Thank you Fred . Yes I know it is going to stiffen up , My question is more will it burnish and or stamp better or worse , I am not really talking about a big project where you would need to keep it cased . I guess I am trying to get corvette performance out of a rambler ( HO performance out of import leather ) .

If you case a piece of leather and THEN let it return to completely dry then case it again ( day ,week ect. later ) , does it burnish better or make any difference in the way it tools ?

Great to hear and what a glorious day that will be brother

Looks right and tight , good honest wear just makes stuff stand out !!

Yes WELCOME !! #3 on my list to see " the great white north "

Couldn't carve a sun that small Thank you

Tip of the hat to you SIR !

I have to come back nearly every day and look at it . I am AMAZED !!!!!!

I am showing how green I am but what is chromexcel ? Chrome tanned ?

coaster for your coffee

Thank you very much ! Just help yourself to it butttttttttttt we may need pictures

Hmmm , that might not be far off the mark .

@doubleh Thank you ! @Bert03241 Thank you as well !

@ArkieNewbie Thank you ! Naw I used a hair tool on this one but up until recently I used a sharp awl . It really doesn't take long with either . ( side note ) I lived in Bald Knob and Judsonia a few years as a kid , hadn't been back that way in a long time .

You can make some stuff out of real small pieces . I have thought about saving the drops from my hole punch and if I ever think of some way to use them ... I will .

Thank you Fred ! I am , it should be illegal ..Thanks .

Sounds good , be sure and post some pictures when you get them made .

That is cool for sure ! I like the translucent lady in the foreground . Truely a keepsake !!!!!!

Me too , I got in the habit of wearing suspenders with a belt doing carpentry and having on pouches with every tool known to man in them . I'm a shoulder rig man as well !!

Thank you Pastor !! Those are pierced earring parts ( ie a bent stud and a back inside ) . I once was going to get rich making earrings seems I have a lot left LOL !
