Very clean tooling, really like it. Dons patterns can be a challenge to tool so clean... Hes really good at getting maximum detail into a given area.

Absolutely beautiful work! Knives, wood, leather.... Is there anything you DON'T do??? Lol

I would wear that all winter while working out in the wind and snow. Very nicely done, really like the underarm ventilation... Nothing worse than having soaking wet armpits when its -10F.

Yep that would be the stuff.

If it were me I'd be looking for Golden Sheerling. The same stuff saddle makers put on the under side of saddles. If you have a saddle shop nearby you may go ask if they can tell you of a good source. But be very cautious doing this, as saddle makers especially older saddle makers are not always known for being helpful. It's kind of an old timer thing... They dont always like sharing thier secrets.

Interesting design. Really like the Nordic vibe... Which I generally don't care for, but yours is very nicely done... And subtle.

I second Tim at Steel Stamps.... Very nice work. This is mine... 1 inch.

Glazing is usually an intentional process done to seal the leather... Alot of exotics are glazed. More likely is that at some point that leather was placed on a surface that had something on it that transfered to the leather and acted similar to a glaze or sealer.

What I'm curious about is what caused that funny egg shaped discoloration on your tooling rock? Is it just a reflection from the lighting???

That turned out very nice. As others have said, the splotchiness really looks good... Gives it a unique character.

Those are all amazing! The hands are nearly perfect... The only critique id give them is to make the crease between the thumb and fingers slightly less defined, kinda look like chicken drumsticks. Aside from that, finominal work.

That looks awesome to me... The fish being up a little high just gives the impression that its really jumping, I like it.

That is a very clean looking piece. I personally don't care for bi-fold wallets, instead I carry a Roper Wallet. But I do very much like the design... It might just find its way into my portfolio of products that I offer... With a tooled body though.

You would hate riding in my truck... LOL! From my rearview mirror I have a garter from a good friends wedding, a fake Hawaiian Lae, my HS graduation tassel, a leather necklace with a pewter pendant my sister gave me decades ago, and a set of large earrings I made my wife.

+1 for christmas ornaments!!!
