@Lazybearmetal After looking at you stuff I realized that a full blood knot might not be useful for the small things like your heart Montana state item . 1/2 of the same knot might work if you like the way it looks . NICE ARTWORKS !!!!!!!!!!! 3/16 inch hole 3/8 inch split

Blood knot is secure an looks nice I think .

@Fraulein This might help.... might at least give you some ideas if you are dealing with a flat handle . you might just want to do it on a small piece and treat it like a luggage tag ?

This is a WAG but I would talk to my jeweler and see if he could saw the marble in half ( so there is a flat side) . Then something like this might could be made to work. Good Luck !!!!!!

Any idea on how to make one of these?
Gezzer replied to MasonLikesLeather's topic in How Do I Do That?
Most things I do start with a card stock pattern , once you like that then transfer that to your leather and start cutting Don't be afraid of wasting a little leather , I think most here di that starting out . -
Like Chuck said those are squares . This is how I do diamonds . I too think a V-gouge was used

Young folks next door have a Boxer/Pit mix , great dog . They have been a big help to me so I decided to make a collar for Toby ( their dog ) as a little thank you . 8 oz veg tan , diluted saddle tan , dark brown antique ( no resist ) acrylic top coat

Weight of leather will have some effect , 6/7 oz I lose right at 5/8 inch per foot . Best way to know is cut a sample @ known length ( say 9 inches )and braid it then measure to see what you are loosing . Overall length will be shorter by X amount , now just do the math for the you want .

This is for a great young lady who is a nurse and actually understands what that encompasses . She took care of my brother back in Dec. , during which time I found out she hunts and is planning her first elk hunt for this fall .

I just take my mop&glow to my leather shop and have the guy keep it in the back for me . He will pour it into smaller bottles and add a buck an ounce when I come in for supplies , just makes me feel better about the whole thing .........................

Veg-Tan bellies: what to do with them.
Gezzer replied to DieselTech's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
All of the above ............. I used them for practice quite a lot and made some coasters out of them . Most I have found were not to soft for coasters but they will stiffen up with Glycerine saddle soap and slicker to the flesh side . -
My guess and it's just a guess , was to keep the horses and wagon from falling off when there is ice on the ground .
